Hi Carol

Good graphism of the golden statue & the 2 fg people add scale. The head of the statue is well positioned on the 1/3 horizontal axis. Reasonable sharpness but I would place the copyright on the border if at all. Most publishers want the full size raw image, not the 300 kb compressed versions uploaded to TE. I'm hoping to make it to Bohol & Alona Beach / Cebu next year. Tfs!
