Photographer’s Note

Taken at The Louvre. In one of the sculpture galleries, I found a bronze piece which depicted some greek god (can't remember which one...Poesidon maybe), killing a sea creature. I tilted the camera up, and I think it made for an interesting photo since it looks like the statue is attacking the camera...

(extra notes added after the very true comment below...I should write better comments...thanks for the suggestion!)

Nice shot, does this photo, or statue tell a story? Maybe you should add a little to the note... i like to read peoples notes I think it adds to the picture knowing why they choose to shoot there subject.

Great idea to take this photo, but I did a workshop for the composition and DOF.
thx, David.

Great shot. There is a lot of strength in the way the statue seems to be looking straight into our eyes. In this sense, it may be a good idea to have placed him at the center of the picture (as compared, e.g. to David's workshop).
Being taken in a museum, this photograph is unusually lively (credit to be given to both the artist and the photographer!…)

Seems be alive. Remembers me Ray Harryhausen films. If this statue would have movement, would be inside in one of his movies.
Good shot.
