Amazing composition. I like the point of view from above, and the way the eyes of the statue, looking at the visitor, seem to announce an incarnated fury ready to wake up.

Great work Morten - you got exactly the the angle I was looking for - (May be I should have given the fee of 10$ to get inside ;-)

A very smart and good approach to a very unusual statue and location. The framing is perfect, and the eye is drawn from the boy to the lady and a very weird logical disconnect occurs. The black and white helps free distractions and makes it seem almost like a weird Escher distortion.

From the weird stain on the floor and the partially blured edge of the pedestal just below the boy's left foot, I can tell you've try to remove things from the picture (people maybe?). That's a bit of pity because the picture's great but I do think those defaults does spoil the picture a bit.

Excellent POV. I like how you have positioned the statue and the woman in the frame. Good choice of B/W. Well done, Morten.
