    This is a sculpture I found on my outing to the museum the other day. I think it speaks on the struggles in Africa, past and present.

    Yes, though I'd like to see it wider as well as this close crop

    I think putting it against the city backdrop adds something more to it, showing what slavery helped to build.
    A step or two to the right and maybe a foot or two higher perhaps.
    A zoom midway between the two you posted.
    Might need to take a cooler to stand on, or small step ladder :o

    That mid-day sun has to be about the worst light to shoot outdoors in. The subject has a lot of potential though.

    I don't care for any of your crops; the close up is just too close, the mid distance cuts off the bottom of the globe and the wide view is too far from the globe (man I'm tough).
