Charlie Chaplin Statue in the middle of Leicester Square London

A picture I took of a Charlie Chaplin Statue in the middle of

leicester square... thought the lights from the rotating carousel in

the background make an interesting composition.

Well you've made the image yours by adding the carousel, but you might want to crop off that top that seems to just sit there. Great job at trying to make this statue yours though.

I agree with Jennifer, The piece of sky on top detracts from the "fantasy" feel of the photo. I also recommend that when cropping, remove some off the right side also. That would put Charlie off center and make the imagery more appealing.

Great idea and great shot, my only suggestiong is to crop the top part of the pic where the branches are. Removing that will completely change the mood of the shot.

I gotta go with the crop advice. As I scrolled down the large size image, I noticed that the picture seemed to improve when you get to the point where the top row of yellow oblong lights is above his derby. Try cropping it there. I really like the way the carousel lights are blurred just enough so that you can still tell what they are.

Agreed. Cropping the top is better. Reminds me of good old Charlie when I was last there at Leicester Square 5 years ago.
