    I thought at first it was you David risking your neck for JPG:) until I gave it a second look and I read your comment about the statue...All is well that ends well ...Sigh of relief!:) I would hate to think of you hanging by a rope:) Great and very imaginative shot!

    A great shot David!! A stunning view. I thought that you took it from a plane and I had to look twice to see if the statue was real. I love it.

    I'm wonderin' why this picture isn't HOT???? It's a great capture whether it's a statue or not - you had to "see" the shot. Once you saw it your choice of framing/composition, exposure control and use of B&W is excellent. And just look at the viewer response. What more does it take? What more does it need? What the heck, it's a hot favorite for me.
