This image is heavily cropped for a couple of reasons: first, because of the overexposure there is a lot of white sky and the buildings are washed out, so I needed to crop at the top; second, I had tilted the camera and so needed to rotate the image about 5 degrees in Photoshop, which necessitated a further crop. Maybe I went too far, but I felt that all the interesting action is at the front of the statue anyway. > However, the alternate has far more going for it as a clean simple > composition and interesting photograph.
