I remember looking at this one during the challenge. It's funny, you never know the photographers perspective during voting. But now, I see you have it listed under 'Humor'. Wow...I feel better. I really thought it was some kind of studio shot with toys and props. But now, I see it is for real! Didn't anybody complain about it being built? I'm mean...it's huge!
Lovely night shot, the reflection is very complimentary to the subject, the orange lights on the sides look like fire adding drama to the image. But ... I don't quite get the "from the ground up" I am looking for. Yes, the statue is reaching up but there is too much foreground to feel that you were on the ground taking a picture. 5
Is the subject supposed to be reaching upwards or is the camera supposed to be pointing "from the ground up". Whatever. This is a very dramatic shot and the reflection is great.
