Michelle- His statue makes him look like he could eat cannon balls and spit thunder. The look goes so well with the whole picture. With that sky, it has such a poverful, put the fear of God into you look. Love the composition and the way you brought the library with its columns and arches into it. The black and white has a way to give it such a dramatic scene. Gorgeous work my friend.
