wonderful photograph, has such a haunting mood.

I love this statue since I was a child, it's very dramatic but the HDR makes this picture more dramatic. Wonderful, good luck!

wow what a great piece! Love the mood here. Nice work author

The black and white and background makes this very nice. Good job!

i like it

Enhorabuena amigo!! muy buena atmosfera en esta foto.

What a beautiful object! You have done a remarkable job capturing the lighting on the side. Where is this, please?

Thanks MossyB for your comment and your fav. I appreciate them both.
This Minotaur caught my eye as soon as I saw it. Although, It was at the backyard of some Institution at "El Escorial", a town located in the outskirts of Madrid Spain, I thought it was worth shooting it. So, I took my chances through the bars of the gate in a very unconfortable pose which rather compromised the focus, and this is the outcome. I'm really glad you like it.

That's a pretty cool statue

Thanks Kyricom. I always appreciate your feedback.

Well worth your suffering, the focus is beautiful, and does not look compromised at all. Thank you for the most interesting "back story" behind the photo - Often times, it makes the image even more interesting!

Really interesting carving...love it...i want one! nicely done author and your efforts certainly paid off, wonderful entry

It really is great.
