It is very true, I have to agree.
I like your excellent shot and I find the light reflecting on the astronaut forehead to be a superb detail. Well done.

Hello Jason,

Excellent framing for this vertical format.
The vegetation as reflection give a nice natural framing to the sculpture.
Details of the sculpture and nuances of the green of the vegetation very well collected, good of colour and sharpness and clarity.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John
