Just a lil observation: "Atlas" with the golden apples, ally of the Titans, condemed to carry the weight of the world vs. "(The) Atlas" - a book of world maps.

I'd consider dropping the definite article.

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Rooster...

The composition on this photo doesn't seem to really create any significant level of visual appeal. The photo also seems to be a bit soft and lacks general sharpness. I don't know what this scene had to offer, but possibly a different camera angle/perspective would help eliminate some of the distractions from the statue itself. A tighter composition that just highlights some interesting aspects of this statue could also be quite nice... something more than a simple documentary view. Finding a composition within a composition is sometimes an excellent way to create some high impact photos :)

The pic is good in many respects. My problem is that it doesn't instill Travel Guide to me. It is atlas and he is holding the world, yeah, which can be travel, but....
There is some area that is really bright that detracts a little. Not sure if possible, but with the camera angle a little different, would it have made the windows more symmetrical with the statue?

I really love the POV on this shot, but do have a couple of suggestions. I find the contrast to be a little flat, which doesn't flatter the sculpture, blending it in a little too much with the background. Also, I think the tilt of the building in regards to your framing is a touch off. I love that you've been able to capture the subject so crisply in the obviously low lighting.
