Too much dead space at the top, it makes all the people seem really short in the sculpture. A tighter crop would make this a much more powerful image.

robvdn says:

I disagree with Mossy, the 'dead space' (as she calls it) is part of a good composition and it brings some rest in a otherwise crowded photo. Me like

avatar RayTedwell

You could probably lose a little if you desired, but I'm sure you have looked at the image with varying degrees of empty space. I'm with Rob on this one, looks great as is.

This photo is more than an image, it's telling a story like most of the images, "blank space" above people has a lot of significance (stillness, rest, silence...) The light from "blank space" has meanings too and it's important to show. All those things convert a photo to a story, and like stories it could be well narrated or bad narrated, in this case, IMHO I think that all makes sense, even the brown color

avatar MakenzieW1

Agree with robvdn 100%! Very nice

I disagree too with MossyB.
The space above here gives some kind of ... "spirituality" to the composition.

Howdie stranger!
