Hi, fellow Illinoisan! I think that, if it's possible to go back downtown, to take this in a vertical format. I'm not really wild about how close the tip of his nose is to the edge of the frame. Also, the flags and south wing of the building don't add very much to this perspective, so if you shallowed the DOF to take them out of focus, it would look a little better. Great subject, Nicolette. I've like so much of the stuff in your portfolio, but I really like the oft-captured subject looked at in a new way. Good job.
Hi Nicolette, the perspective of this shot is amazing, I love it very much. But... why did you crop the legs of the lion? I think, if you took the entire figure, it could give a more powerfull effect, and much better if you included a bigger part of the building and the sky. Don't you have any other shot of it? And, second, have you worked on the colour? This blue tonality is a bit dark and makes lose many details. Anyway, I like your point of view.
