Lincoln's Tomb

Another shot from my trip out to Illinois.

This is a nicely framed shot good composition. I would only say to correct some perspective dist as it seems the monument of Lincolns head is tilting backwards towards the tomb.. one nit pik but certainly not a major issue is that I would have liked to see the full door to the tomb as it seems you have cut it of near the bottom. But I think the shot is ok as it is. good work

Quite an interesting composition. I'd say you've made it work for the most part. I do wonder though if it might be more effective with a crop that shows only "half" of Lincoln's profile (and also thereby eliminates the little bit of empty space along the right side of the frame. Hard to say, but in general I like what you've done.

In point of fact, I think the head statue alone has a very interesting look to it. Should you ever get back there (or photograph a similar statue) I might recommend really focusing on the details and texture of the face. Zoom in on the eye, do a profile shot, etc etc.

Your comments are appreciated. I did shoot one shot of just the bust of Lincoln & it's uploaded here.
