Angel of the North 2

This is another shot taken on my trip to Newcastle this week. The one I prefer is in the critique section. I wasn't sure whether to leave the person in or not, I think it provides some scale but would be better if they had stood up.

I think this one is wonderful, Ian. I like it more than the one in the critique section because of the deep emotion that it causes. The Angel against the very active sky is a great contrast, and I would keep the man in, He add tremendously to visualizing the scale.

Powerful stuff, this.

The detail and range of tone you've got in the clouds is great and really sets off the silhouette. The man does add scale which is important so I wouldn't remove him but it's a shame he's not stood somewhere else, maybe a little further from the feet looking up at the angel.

That aside this is a great shot.

cheers

I agree with what's been said here. As Danpen said, the ideal would be to have someone standing back from the Angel looking up, but this is still a great image.

Wow! Those clouds are fantastic!! What a great image! Good sense of scale. Only thing is the slight haloing round the statue. Good capture!

Very dramatic sky adds a dynamic impact to the angel. Great conversion which really works well.
