Statue of Liberty

Any comments gratefully received.

Steve, this is completely off-topic question...was it an attempt to get an upskirt shot? Sorry, I did not mean to hurt anybody's feelings.

Maybe a picture off the mirror on top of your loafers :-) All jokes aside, it's got wonderful tone. Wonderful! But, there's always a but, you're contrast is very low. See those areas that are reflecting so much sun that there's no detail? Those should be white. And under the young ladies skirt, should be dead black. Take a piece of photo paper and expose the hell out of it out side for a minute or two. Develop it, and use it for a guide for absolute black. Take another piece, just a piece for both of these like a test strip, and develop it full without any light reaching it so you can see absolute white. Use these to always work with contrast. Lovely image with wonderful composition. When I saw the name of the critique, I was hoping to see an image like that with a medium format, and wammo! There was one :-) Keep the leaf shutter clicking.

You've managed to avoid taking Yet Another Liberty Picture. I love the "new angle" (literally and figuratively). I agree about the contrast though. Or you could just adjust it in photoshop! (If you have contrast problems I suggest buying a Kodak test print developing wheel. Ask at your local camera hobby shop, they should have one or be able to order one.)
