The sky was just crazy!... ;) But what the nature offers is one thing, and what the photographer can do with it to create a fabulous image is another. The photo above is a proof. Congrats and regards, Tomasz
Lovely!... A really beautiful image, doing justice to both the nature's colours and human work. The bridge with its reflection forms an almost perfect circle.
Great job. Congrats and regards,
Tomasz
In my very humble opinion, the subject would gain the expression you're after when lit by direct sunlight revealing its texture and all the 3D-like features. Any chance you can return to that location at a different time of the day? Sure enough, a more suitable film and development can help increase the overall contrast of the scene, but the statue sunlit would be a delight to view.
Just my 2c...
Regards, Tomasz
