Very cool pic. The colors are so vivid against the rest of the picture.

I like the colors a lot against the grey stone but there seems to be too much building and not enough of the statue, feels a little unbalanced. I like the idea though and the details are great.

I like the color against the grey stone too. Maybe aiming a lil bit lower so you gave the top of the arch just in the frame. so you can get some more of the statue too. Or possibly a taking a few steps back and taking a profile shot. Very good subject to rety with if possible.

I agree with most of the comments above. The splash of color is a great relief to the hardscape. I would suggest maybe cropping the right side.

I'll give you your fifth comment! I think this is a wonderful image. The colours are beautifully vibrant, and do not overpower the statue. Excellent work.

I think crop not needed. Nice balance bright colors and gray

Thanks, smata2 and andrewtr.

I agree about the crop. I was trying to get as much of the mosaic into the shot as possible, hence the current title. (It used to be called Dr. Samuel Hahnemann Memorial, which, in retrospect, is a crappy title.) : )

Thanks! It's actually not a cut-out, just some really bright tiles against some really gray stone.

I really like this one - shame about the thinker being a bit too shadowed of face, and the uncomfortable angle. The colours are great, the contrast between foreground and background well-caught, and it makes me smile !

colors are interesting...but i prefer real people to statues. the angle is awkward and the photo is grainy.

Damn, I would give this a save except for the fact that I believe you could have done a slightly more balanced framing on this shot, the colour is off centre which is annoying to me in this case.

Awesome mosaic, but you need to do a bit of cropping on this one...

Vibrant colour but the angle is all wrong for me. I'd have stepped left and had the statue's face surrounded by colour. Face is too dark also I think. Close to a keeper, but no cigar.

the composition isn't thought out at all. while the mosaic is nice, there isn't much else going for this photo.

Actually, I did think out the composition, but, if you don't like it, that's OK.
