I like your pov here and the sky makes a nice contrast. The foreground lacks detail (light) and I think it would make the shot more interesting if I could see it better
Nice idea. Woulda been cool if you had better clouds - the effect of a cloud cupped in the palm of the hand. Might be worth revisiting this statue some time. I like the curves and the contrasts of stone to sky, dark agains the light blue.
I really like your interpretation of the challenge. This is a very pretty shot, the clouds really add to the shot and the composition is nice. I would get rid of the tree tops in the crease of the wing. But still a very nice shot! :)
