don't know why but I don't find this one interesting (eye-catching). Maybe I don't like the composition - imho there's a bit too much space on the right side. Thank you, Giuseppe P.

You're not alone, I think.

 

Raters and clickers have been hard to come by; my taste here differs from the consensus.

 

I had tried cropping the right but it destroyed it completely.

 

I wouldn't then have posted it at all.

 

Perhaps I should have posted one with more foreground. I had some interesting captures with more shadow/empty space in the foreground but the action on the statue was less interesting.

 

Live and learn.

 

Maybe today was the day for toilet paper (see other post).

 

;~))

 

I always appreciate an honest appraisal from someone with good taste.
