I know this angle! It was taken from Liberty State Park! I've seen bumber stickers in New Jersey with the saying "New Jersey - We stand behind The Lady" on it.


The shot is nicely framed and composed.

The angle of the sun is perfect for picking up the detail in the trees and benches in the foreground. Those elements could so easily have ended up as heavy black areas. Even the slight variation of colour in the sky has been picked up and helps to avoid the other common problem of 'boring' areas.
Very nicely framed. Not 100% happy with the area to the right of the right hand tree but cropping it out would unbalance the picture. The only other option would be to crop from both sides to compensate and that would result in the loss of the good detail in the trees on the left!!
Overall I think it best to leave it just as it is.

Nice angle.Finally something unusual from the very well know object.

Somehow calming, maybe because trees and nature appear bigger than the liberty statue, which usually dominates picture showing it.

Original angle indeed. Beautiful picture. I like the framing of both trees and their thinner branches fulfilling the upper part of the picture. Perhaps some of the right side “emptiness” could now be croped since, on the field, I guess nothing better could have been done, otherwise you would have caught too much shadow on the left tree. I also enjoy those colors on this picture and the sharpness of the details on the left tree. I wish those tables hadn’t been there, and also less light on the Lady’s leg.
