Kind of double in memoriam. This statue, in memory of Joop den Uyl, was made by Jan Wolkers, a writer, poet, painter and sculptor, who died this week (81). It's standing on a bridge nearby.
Just resized and (normal) sharpened.

Title dependent (which is OK for PJ - much of it often is) but a bit static in composition. For a human interest story (which I'd assume this would be) you might have wanted to include a human element if possible.
Who is JW? I suppose if that is a well known person who has had a memorial placed in their honour it may appear in a newspaper. There is quite a bit of free space at the top of the frame. Good Luck.
I am afraid I don't know who JW was...
I couldn't really see this photo accompanying a news article, and I struggle to realy get a connection with the challenge. As a stand alone photo it seems a luittle flat and I get a feeling of accidental composition.
I don't know who JW is, but that's not important anyway.
Focus is ok . But exposure or lighting, wb and particularly the composition could be better.
I also think the theme does not work for a front page..don't you agree?
