Olá Manuel, uma foto bastante interessante. Parece mesmo que as "pessoas" da estátua se estão a vergar perante o respeito da vossa bandeira. Belo registo.

Hello Manuel,
I like your POV, the composition with the monument in the FG, the blue sky and the contrast.
Have a nice day, Vasilis.

Hola Manuel!
In addition to all the other photo qualities here, what mostly attracted me was the unusual composition with wonderful visual results!

Hola Manu,

Sobre todo, la perspectiva es lo que hace ingeniosa esta foto,
desde abajo y casi la figura cogiendo la estructura,
muy buenos colores y luz!
Buen trabajo!

Un saludo,
Elena

Manuel, the angle from which you shot this is very effective, it give life to the statue. I think this angle is what the sculptor had in mind as it seems to be much more than cold stone or bronze. Great work.
