You are right that it is a complex problem. Thank you for mentioning the Memorial Hall to Dr. Sun Yat-sen in Taipei. I have never been to there but I believe it is a great place to visit. |

Trying different settings is a good idea! In this picture, I was trying to make both the statue and the building sharp but leaving the leaves at the top blurring, so I chose F8. The "peak focus" feature of the camera told me that most of those interested area was focused well, but it turns out not well enough. I should take a few more shots around the focus on site, together with F11 settings. That could have saved this picture somehow. |

Thank you for your comments. Yes, I like Bob's version too. In the original version the space was occupied by the building mostly and leaving no space for lawn to balance in color at the bottom. If it was shot with the idea of Bob's version in mind, lawn at the bottom should help to standout the statue and make it more "stable" with broader foundation. |

Thank you Mr. Patrick for your great efforts on revisioning the picture. I like your version very much and it seems similar as Mr. Hoffman's suggestion. The statue looks much more shining and it can grab my attention much easier than my original version. Thank you for enlightening me that editing could help a lot indeed. |

Thank you for your comments and so detailed suggestions. This shot didn't focus well. The lens is a fixed manual one. So I used peak focus of the camera. But I was not always able to focus successfully in that way. Since the picture itself was to express a kind of complex feeling and I was not sure how to express it explicitly, I chose this picture and hope to learn from you.
The version that Mr. Patrick posted should be similar as your suggestion and I like it very much. The building should not take that much space in my original version and the statue should stand in the center of the picture. That's the effect that I wished that the man should get focused instead of the building in nowadays mainstream culture. Thank you for your suggestions. |

Thank you for your comments! Your suggestions are very valuable. Yes, it was a very famous and beautiful building in history. Actually I wanted to focus on the statue and use the building to represent his repute in history. However, I don't find a proper angle to standout the statue and separate it from the building. And it's too dark as a very old metal sculpture. What's more, I also wanted to express a kind of feeling that fate was unfair to the man in the statue, who should get much more respect but nowadays we can only focus on the building behind him. Literally, inside the memorial, most contents only talk about how the building was designed and built, and how many history stories happened about that building, and only very small amount of words are used to describe the man in the statue, who is deliberately forgotten for years……. But it was too complicated for me to express in a photo…. |
