I liked finding Persephone and I enjoyed the reference. Supposedly, that Atlas is modeled after Mussolini. Isn't it great how he faces off against St. Patrick's Cathedral?
Superb! I love the stark contrasts and the deep blue of the sky. The composition is perhaps a little cluttered... but the way you used the harsh lighting to your advantage is very interesting... I like the way it brings out the details of the cathedral building!
Almost missed that person on the left (is that Persephone or Waldo? I don't usually think of them as easy to confuse!). The sky is lovely and I like the perspective on the cathedral. Feel like the darker parts of the image should be all silhouette or all have detail; the buildings to the right and left, for instance, seem about the same distance from the camera but one has detail and one doesn't, which just feels odd to me with a centered composition.
Excellent composition here, and good choice to have "Waldo" as an extra and not the focus of the image. The use of the church spires to complement the composition of Atlas works well, though having Atlas completely in silhouette is a bit distracting for me (I generally don't care for full silhouettes -- my own personal preference). I still think this is a strong image, made stronger by excellent choices in composition. Well done.
Oooo sneaky!!! That took a little while. Great shot and magical composition. Great silhouetting of Atlas which really helps emphasise the detail of the church/cathedral. Sky is awesome!!!!! 8
