I think this went the same way as my garden shot: perhaps folks just didn't it was 'gardeny' enough? Anyway, very nice shot with wonderful tones and perfect clarity. Nice work.
Very nice photo. the toning looks good, and there is a lot to look at in the photo, yet it doesnt compete for attention with the main subject, which i assume is the statue of the man. 9
A wonderful B&W photo. Although I wouldn't have cropped the plant half out like you have, I would have rather left it in the pic fully to enhance the "garden" feeling, but still a 10!
