Thanks for the feedback, Dave. Actually I took the shot on Saturday, Dec 27, when there wasnt a cloud (or a detail) in the sky, and at near dusk due to arriving late to the park, so I did the best I could with the exposure. I chose to keep the color (and even the chromatic abberation) on purpose for this shot (compared to my second post of the angel, which is in black and white) to give it a weird coloration. But I understand the effect one gets with digital photography. I plan to shoot the statue more next time I'm there. Hopefully I will have some time to check out some of your haunts with you as well (if the swell guy I usually spend all my time with can come along). (Smile)

For sheer emotional appeal, this image is absolutely powerful to me. You've managed to "see" the angel in an extremely intimate way, bringing forth a level of emotion that is indeed tangible. Technically: I wish that you had bracketed exposures in the hope that you might be able to merge an over- and under-exposed image so as to bring out a bit of detail in the sky. You've also got quite a bit of chromatic aberration (purple fringing), which is not unusual in digital backlit shots, depending largely on the quality of glass you're using. I have found that CA is greatly minimized by transforming color images into greyscale, and this is certainly an image that would not lose any power without its already subtle color. Have you seen "Angels in America"? Can't help but think of the opening sequence when I study this shot. Great work.

One of Mister Caldwell's best, in my opinion. Photographing is always showing the world how you see, but photographing a work of art is a special case--how you see what someone else saw. This noble vision of a familiar sculpture makes it fresh, and tells us something special about Mister Caldwell, as well.
