Absolutely NO hint of terrorism associated with this when I took this image. Didn't even cross my mind until you mentioned it.

Very powerful, great contrast between the short, dark person and the tall, silver building.

this is fantastic...an outstanding architectural shot in its own right, but adding the foreground character makes this scene so much more...I'm really impressed with this.

I'm tough on statue shots, because I feel like the sculptor did most of the work. But clearly you have re-imagined the landscape here... from the clouds in the building to the severe angle and crop of the statue. This picture should stand as a model for other photographers who wish to shoot statues. 9

Love the transparent feeling of the building with the clouds. Nice balance between the hooded subject and the older building.

That's a great building with an on-going reflection that works really well with the blacked-out person.
