statue of Frederick VII
location Køge which is a magnificient city with beautiful architecture (take a look)
from wiki:
"Frederick VII (October 6, 1808 - November 15, 1863) was King of Denmark. He reigned from 1848 until his death. He was the last Danish monarch of the older royal branch of the House of Oldenburg, and also the last king of Denmark to rule as an absolute monarch. During his rule, he signed a constitution that gave Denmark a parliament and made the country a constitutional monarchy.

Frederick VII managed to make himself one of the most beloved of the Danish kings of recent times. This was probably due to his giving up absolutism but also to his personality. In spite of many weaknesses confirmed by his contemporaries — mythomania[citation needed], drinking, eccentric behavior, etc. — he also possessed something of a gift as an actor. He could be both folksy and genuinely hearty, being able to appear as a ”simple, yet dignified monarch”. During his many travels throughout Denmark he cultivated his contacts with the common man."

the 'paper' he is holding here may be this constitution

Hi jonathan

Good graphism of the statue against the marvellous blue sky, with excellent sgharpness & upward pov. I also like the warm cold colour contrast, between the red roofs, & blue sky. Well done!

Hi Jo,

Excellent POV showing the statue... in the blue..
Beautifull presentation.
Well done.
All the best.

Bonjour, cher Jo,
Il fallait un promontoire pour arriver à obtenir une telle photographie !
Le cadrage est excellent et met bien en valeur la statue de Frenderick VII.
L'ensemble ressort très bien sur ces maisons alentour.
Merci pour la note.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Howdy Jonathan!
Very interesting monument. Wonderful background. Good point of view. Excellent focus. Original picture.

Hello Jo,
A well composed view of this statue and its surroundings. The blue sky provides a nice backdrop. Very good colours and clarity.

hi Jonathan,
I like your position in taking this photo.. it seems that he wants to give you the 'paper'. Would you take it?
I like the POV exposing the blue sky against the buildings by the way.
Regards
Miguel

Bonjour Jonathan,

La prise de vue dirige notre regard vers les maisons qui entourent la statue de Frederick VII. Les détails et les couleurs sont clairs et précis. La luminosité fait ressortir les couleurs. Bonne journée.
