This could so easily have just been a silhouette against the sky. Well done for keeping the golden detail.

Love the colours in this, the green and the gold gleaming against the dull sky. Beautiful. Would love to know the story behind this figure, too.

It looks so majestic and royal, but is this the column that has graffitti scrawled all over it? I seem to recall that it looked rather sad and abused the last time I saw it. Perhaps I'm thinking of the wrong place.

@Swazzette may be, i think it has been tagged. it's near the new opera... does it seems familiar?

Lovely shot ...'the Spirit of Liberty' my guidebook called it and you've caught it well against the monochrome sky.

Great sharp shot of this "spirit of liberty". I agree with everyone the gold against this sky is perfect. Nice shot.

I'm amazed that you "got the gold," Helene! That is, that the whole shot didn't become a silhouette. Great shot!

The figure looks a bit like winged Mercury. Beautiful pose against the cloudless sky.
