The processing works very well for this image. I believe it would be a stronger image if you cropped the buildings on the right. That way all the focus would be on the statue and the building behind him with no distractions.
Good old Cloughie, the best manager England never had! Stuffed shirts at the FA, they still are, and the current pompous chap! Super rendition in HDR, Tony. Fav! (PS - I like the buildings as well as the statue!) @bob65
Great pov in this shot. Love your processing, too. I do not follow UK soccer but I think the name is familiar to me. I saw a statue of Stanley Mathews in the middle of Stoke when my son lived and studied there. I was amazed how 'short' he was compared to the players we see (if the statue is life size).
@sangwann@padlock@ivan Thank you very much, I have never seen a football match in my life also never played it. but I used to laugh when Mr Clough came on the telly, used to think he was great how he spoke to people and even when he told people off and when he slapped them at the back of the head for doing the wrong thing, ( Man's Man ).
Thank you all very much, and glad you liked the architecture as I do.
