Aha! so we do get to see the bowman, every bit as brilliant as the bowman Tara, really nice work.

Excellent work and I can see East West University in the background, with its swanky, new facade (the angled glass). This is a brilliant shot of a city that I'm very familiar with, and yet, this looks like a different city all together. This is really elegant, super work! I love seeing Chicago though non-Chicago eyes.

The figure is such a contrast with the architecture which makes for a terrific composition. You have positioned him so very expertly, Tara!

A wonderful companion shot to the Bowman! Love the angle here, Tara, and of course, the juxtaposition of the mounted warrior with the modern buildings in the background.

Marvelous juxtaposition of organic sculpture and ultramodern architecture. Great sculpture, great shot...

Power of the body of the horse and man is insanely beautiful. Modern buildings? they do not live, and all look the same and look death. Glass, glass and another glass. Give me a building that life, full of warmth and coziness is, building. Nice capture.

Beautiful! And again the building background is brilliant!

A fine shot! Lovely sculpture Tara! I like.... Question though.... As its the 'Spearman' and it seems at one time to have held a spear in his left hand as you look at the picture, where is it? Odd huh? Rob

Tara, I like the composition a lot - the three different sets of geometric patterns on the buildings in the background look great. But the statue doesn't look quite focused to me - was that a conscious choice to focus on the background? I would have gone the other way. BTW, have you ever heard of the Lytro camera? It captures what it calls "light fields", which allows you to change the focus AFTER you've taken the photo, so with a Lytro photo, you could experiment with different areas of focus after the fact...

I like the angle Tara.

Just a hint of the spear is all we need. Nicely done...
