Thanks, again, everyone! And I agree, John, such a pity they moved it across the river. I can't bring myself to go see it in its new location; IMO it belongs on Hains Point, and that's how I'll remember it.

Helen, I know this well and you have popped it perfectly. I've not seen a more compelling image of this. Such a shame it was moved.

Wonderful composition - I like this one better than the other, also! It's good you got these pictures before they moved him.

Thanks all, for the kind comments. I was really torn as to which image I liked better, but I finally decided to go for the entire sculpture as the scope of it was just so amazing. Unfortunately, they moved it across the Potomac River to Maryland. What a loss for the District of Columbia!

I agree with Frank, Helen. This is a more dramatic composition than the one you used previously. Excellent shot!

Helen, I love the giant sense of scale here...very nice lighting, composition, and sense of texture. Great find and capture! MFC

Helen, for me the light and compo is even better than what you had achieved with your winner shot!
