The Mary Schenley Memorial Fountain, also known as A Song to Nature, a 1918 landmark by Victor David Brenner. It sits in Schenley Plaza at the entrance to Schenley Park and directly in front of the University of Pittsburgh's Frick Fine Arts Building in Pittsburgh, Pa United States. I've removed the color of the fountain and Cathedral of Pittsburgh to increase the contrast of the sky.

This is a really cool statue. I would say I would like to see it with only sky in the background (instead of the building), but then you wouldnt be have the same perspective on the statue.
nice idea of the partial desaturation. in this case I can't help but finding it unnatural. But that's just me, probably. The big areas of color conflict with the lig areas of bright grey. Technically a solid picture.
I know the area quite well since I used to work right next door there... I can't say I'm fond of the selective desaturation here. I'm just not getting the point of editing it that way.
I like the details of the statue, especially all the curves and the lines. I am not too hot about the building -- it seems a bit tilted to the right and lacking contrast.
