Wonderful light and shadows, the shadow of the visitor really gives an impression of size of the statue...V

A giant in history, and then there's the little human I love the sense of scale here as well as the warm morning light. Great image, Sam!

Fabulous capture showing the size of this statue. The sitting Lincoln was sculpted by Daniel Chester French. I visited his summer studio in Stockbridge, Massachusetts years ago where they have models of the statue and this is one I can always remember who did it.

Love the way you uses those shadows.V.

Must be either one heck of a zoom lens, or a gigapixel sensor to crop in like that. Wonderful use of morning's light Sam.

what a sense of grandeur here, not just the edifice and statue, but also the spirit of the man...fab shot Sam...V

I love how the shadows of the columns frame Mr. Lincoln. It's also a fine self-portrait, Sam. V
