I have mixed feelings about photographing sculpture in general.... No doubt that the sculptures make very good subjects - they do not move or scratch their noses when you press the shutter release button.... At the same time I understand that a photographer may find a very unique and interesting point of view. Besides sculptures make very good materials for experimenting with light and pov. So, if it was a real person, I'd say that you succeeded capturing him at a very interesting moment. His pose is full of thoughts, his sight is directed ahead. A subject is fairly well isolated also roofs at the background distract me a bit. Looking at the stature from below makes it taller and more dramatic. I'd probably advise using a bigger aperture for this kind of shots. The is purely my humble opinion and I do not pretend to be professional. Just my two friendly cents. :)
Thanks for your comments Michael. Not my usual subject matter. Captain Walker was the Commander of the Royal Navy escorts vessels operating out of Liverpool during the Battle of the Atlantic. This statue is a tribute to him and is placed at Liverpool ' Pier Head.
