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

there you are my friend....I thought the close up worked better....

[SmartWombat]

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

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).
