Faces (Please click for larger view)

This was an impressive totem pole, but I had a hard time figuring out

how best to capture it. What would you suggest?

Christal, I like this POV and think it is a good photo.  But, I would like to see something in the background so I could get an idea of large this totem is.  

Hello

I like the framing and tilt to the totem. The cloudy background works well to give a strong graphic feel. As for thoughts on how better to capture it. I would have liked to see a bit more of the faces, perhaps moving around a little to the left unless that would introduce distractions in the background. I might consider taking out most of the color. The bright colors are really competing for attention and making it a monochrome or taking out most of the color would help focus attention on the shapes and faces more. I might play around with focal lengths and position to get the lower section to be more dominant. I did a quick edit to show what I mean. Just my 2 cents.
Regards
