Men of Glory #2

This is a photograph of the Che Guevara statue in Santa Clara, Cuba.  I really liked how the photo seems to show that no other buildings are of equal height of the statue or even near it, giving it an unrivaled, heroic aspect to it.  The picture allows only the base and the statue itself to be seen in the photo, not allowing other objects to steal any type of attention during this moment captured in time.
This is a photo I took the other day of the Zacharius Ursinus statue outside of the Berman Art Museum.  Although I could not achieve the same unrivaled height that the Guevara stature obtained, the fact that this statue is in the foreground of the photo makes it seem much larger than all of the other objects in the background of the photo.  I also wanted to achieve a point of view from under the statue, giving it a larger than life feel, that the viewer would feel small in comparison to this piece.
