mr. jones' background is too complicated for me....Look at that great sky over there on the right....couldn't you have just used that?

A bit too busy (I think it's due to the windows) for "Simplicity" - would have been great to get the statue backdropped by just the blue/cloudy sky?

I wonder if you could have found an angle that cut the building out of the background. The combination is too fussy to really fit in with the "Simplicity" theme.

the building seems a bit distracting from the statue. Perhaps with the nice blue sky in the back at a different angle. Nice sharp shot though
