Simon, Deb, This is one of Auguste Rodin's "Burghers of Calais". The series commemorates the sieg of the city of Calais during the Hundred Years War. To prevent further loss of life, six of Calais' leading citizens surrendered to the English. The lives of these six were spared. Thanks for your comments. Michael

Wow, Michael! What a capture! Everything about this image is so right. I, like Simon, would like to know why the fellow is so anguished. Maybe it has something to do with the shananigans going on in the challenge? Hmmm...---Deb

The composition, angle, timing, focus and dof all help convey the tortured soul of this person. The blue sky and sheen on the statue are wonderful touches. I'm curious to know more about the person. Why are they so anguished? - Simon Bennett.

Michael, this is great. The backlighting was a perfect choice to go with-- I think you must have picked the perfect time of day to have gotten the liquid shine to show up on the surface the way you did. The angle and crop of this shot work wonderfully. --Nancy

Michael. I like the angel you select and the polish and reflective surface of the statue. Good composition. JesusV
