Re: Stone Mountain, GA
The semi side-lighting really captured the contours and the shape of the carvings, Chris. If this shot was taken directly high noon it would give the statue a different feel about it. Well done, my friend. Awesome!

Re: Stone Mountain, GA
It's hard to tell because of the sheer size of it, but it sits about 45 feet deep into the rock face which allows for some good lighting. I just got lucky and hit it at about 10 am on a perfectly beautiful, bright sunny day. thanks for your comments, Willie-Jiro.
