A very interesting picture. They almost look as though they are dancing. The colors are wonderful.

Nice image

A very intriguing image, with beautiful tones. Interested to know how you achieved the lighting, with the sun behind but the figures lit from in front. Another HDR composition? If so, it's exteremely well done.

Very well done, Ron. Wonderful light.

Excellent, Ron. The framing. light and good exposure all add up to make this a great image. It would be interesting to have some background information on this sculpture.

Nice picture. I suppose that there were some orange lights coming from down. Hard to understand the lightning from the shadows. HDR picture?

I like this photo very much! Fabulous light! The orange on the figures is picked up in the sky also, creating a cohesive feels. Love the composition. You allowed enough room for the man to look into. Very, very nice.

How fabulous, the dawn of humanity indeed, perfectly called, perfectly taken...

Beautiful. Excellent angle putting the sun behind the statues. Not much I can critique on this one ... just wonderful.

stunning image

Beautiful colors, composition, and lighting. An extremely well thought out photo with the backlighting and the angle you used - the man looking at the sun is just great.

That's another very cool one - superb light and upraise "feeling" Wys

The lighting and angle of this shot are superb Ron.
Thank you for your poetic comment on my post on Friday :)

I am curious about the halo around the statue...PP or was that the way the sky was lit? Just a G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S shot!

@Tracey: Thanks, Tracey. The sun was just above the horizon when I snapped this shot ... so a lot of the halo is provided by the sun's position relative to the statue and me (the photographer). I did ramp up the luminosity in post processing so it is accentuated somewhat. The other element in the mix is that this is another experiment (on my part) in HDR, which also adds to the drama of the sunrise. I have two more shots that I'm posting tomorrow and Wednesday that show the statue from different angles and the sky is completely different in each one ... if you wait just a bit after sunrise the sky begins to take on a completely different look.
the lighting is fantastic - excellent framing and colors

I find this a remarkable image Ron, the effect of the intense colored light is good. A thought provoking photo.
