Took this last Sunday at a local cemetary. The sun is directly behind the angels' right wing. I think the trees around the plinth distract a little from the image, however i couldnt get down any lower to exclude them i'm afraid. All comments welcome.




Image taken with 18-70 lens, 1/8000s at f/8 at 200iso.

Hi Apollo_Cat
I think the idea is a good one, but perhaps the execution could be better.
Having the statue in silhouette might lend itself to a B&W conversion. At the moment, I feel that the extremely dark figure doesn't really work against the slightly-coloured sky.
I understand that you were trying to hide the sun behind the angel, but I think the viewer needs to see a bit more of the figure to fully comprehend what it is.
Still, an unusual pic and an intention to do something different - that's what photography is all about.
Look forward to seeing more images from you.

I quite like the shot as it is.... it works for me....

look forward to seeing more...

cheers
