Symbolism is around us every day. We see it and never even notice. Try and capture the essence of a concept and portray it for the world to see. For example a white dove could represent peace. A crucifix could be faith or even a flag representing patriotism.
Symbolism Definition: Representation of a concept through symbols or underlying meanings of objects or qualities.
kyricom: *sigh* A HUGE proportion of these entries have virtually nothing to do with symbolism. A symbol is something that is readily recognizable by a LARGE number of people as representing something larger than itself (e.g. a white dove for peace). ( 5 years and 3721 days ago )

I think he symbolizes authority but he's so small against the city that his authority really is more symbolic than real. There's just so much that can be seen in the photo. Weapons combined with a kind face for example.
Really great shot.
A unique idea to leave the defined symbol and apparently it earned you extra points but this is still just a simple but powerful image all at the same time, so congrats on your placement.
