I don't get a feeling of nostaligia, but I feel that this would be a good picture for questioning the place of religion in the United States currently. The thinker and the bible what a concept.
Lighting is really good on both the thinker statue and the bible. The bright light on the bible gives it a halo and brings out the point of religion more.
I think a larger white frame may help bring out the picture more then a smaller one.
Yeah, well, I don't know if it is a nestalgia so much as something that is still being worked on. After all, it is considered a living religion and tradition, they don't necessarily wish for the past or regret it's passing, (infact I hope not, considering the bloody mess Christianities history holds). Still I like the imagery because it could go for any form of reading or tradition in which books played a heavy part.
