Don, not one of your better shots IMHO. The sunset is nice and all of that, but the main subject of the photo is the hawk(?) or eagle(?) or whatever on the sculpture. But I can't see the sculpture because of the lighting and because the trees in the background merge with the main figure. I am not sure about the lighting issue, but at least you need to lower the camera 12-18 inches so that the point-of-view separates the statue from the background trees. Sorry if I sound harsh, but this is the sort of shot that frustrates me and therefore irks me a bit - there is enough there that I think I would like to take a closer look, but when I take a closer look the subject is obscured.
