You did a good job with the light on the shot. There is a nice rim lighting on the head and shoulders, which tells me the shot was lit from behind the subject. So you also did a good job getting the front of the subject lit. Since the main light (sky) was in front of you there was a good chance of the background being blown or the front of the statue being in shadow and dark.
Some things to improve upon, try to keep the shot a little cleaner looking by limiting the distracting background. One way would be to use a wider aperture to cause blur, the other way would be to shoot from above to include only the green grass, or shoot from belw to get more sky. Also, centering the statue in the frame left to right would have heled a little.
Hope this feedback was helpful and not too basic. |
