I like the subject and the stone edifice against the black sky, but I think that the lighting in the forefront takes away from the ominous feel that the gargoyle and the stone seem to be representing.
He does look like a creature that should hide during the day, but of course he doesn't. Good choice to take the building at an angle - it increases the dramatic feel of the shot.
I see you've been sneaking around my house, taking pictures of me! How dastardly of you! I really like this shot. Your strong composition and point of view makes that gargoyle really stick out. Lighting is just a bit harsh, but a fun image.
good idea/subject, and even better execution. The dof really makes this image. The pov is great as well, but the dof makes it "jump" out of frame. Good work.
