single photos stone statues in Kyoto,Japan

Comments appreciated.

Something about seeing statues of children covered with moss is a little disturbing, yet appealing at the same time. Perhaps reminiscent of the cabbage patch kids craze?

 

I like the subject and textures/tonal range you've captured. But compositionally I'd like an angle a little lower to the ground, and a bit to the right, with a slightly shorter focal length. This would emphasize the hills a bit, as well as the height of the moss, and be a little more "personal" with the foreground statue, wile not loosing the two in the background.

I have a picture which is taken more from the front, but I liked this one better for some reason. I'll try to find and upload it for comparison. Longer focal length is a bit difficult, however, as 90 mm is the longest I own :-). Thanks for the comment! It's appreciated.

I would like to see that other. But note I was suggesting shorter, not longer, focal length combined with the lower angle. I think a longer focal length would compress the distance between the two statues too much.
