Early Morning at 5 Points

the background is distracting

Wow, this is an excellent photo. The light on the statue is just perfect for an early morning shot like this. The sky is matched well with the street lights and the tree lights. The nicest touch, in my opinion, is the red open sign in the right corner, which anchors the photo. With the statue looking up, it makes you wonder at what he is looking - a ufo, a sunrise, is he praying?

 

The exposure is perfect and you have captured it very well. This is now one of my more favorite 'early light' photos here at photo.net

Hi Carla, I like your shot very much. There is something unworldly about the image and it "feels" very different. I'll let others debate about whether the background is distracting or not.

pleasent image

I love this!

Spooky feel. I like.

very nice and different!

Its like you gave life to the statue. Yes its spooky.

I think what I liked in this picture is the contrast between the ethereal (the statue, blue hue, the guy looking up with a noble posture) and the mundane (the red sign, the lights on the tree). Interesting contrast of ideas, not obvious. Very original in this sense.

Who is it? I'm really interested. Looks like Lenin...
