Angelic Sunset

The sun goes down over the Angel of the North in Gateshead, UK. This huge piece of public art was completed in 1998 by sculptor Antony Gormley and has a wingspan of 54 metres, nearly the size of a jumbo jet!

Excellent perspective and composition that conveys a strong impact. From another point of view you've dealt very well with the background either with the plants at the first plan, either with the two people what gives a sense of dimension.

This was voted a HIT from Hit, Miss, Maybe, WHY?

Well, the shot is superb, but the subject helps a lot! If it weren't because of the bushes on the foreground, it'd look like a paint.

Very nice pic, I especially love the colours. I agree with the above, I would prefer if the bushes were not there.

Great lighting, interesting image, good use of the people to give us perspective on the size of the stature. The bushes in the foreground detract for me. ** This was voted a almost a hit. from Hit, Miss, Maybe, WHY?

Beautiful. I really need to make it up there next time I'm in the U.K. It's just, you know, the cold and wind (it's like being at home in Chicago, United States). :)
