For me, statues are imitation rather than personification. Non-the-less, really like the composition and the point the view. The tones are great and depth of field works really well for me.
Difficult dynamic range to deal with here. The statues (which are very human looking BTW) range from very shadowed to overexposed on the left side. I think I might have tryed a grad ND filter to balance out the light a little. JMO.
