A power post-processing which really evoks apocalypse or war, or both... Powerful.

This is stunning, the way you caught the clouds behind this statue is masterful.

That flare coming out from behind the head is a very nice touch.

I have no words for this post. You have captured the emotion of war by including the fiery clouds.

Cool shot.. The background as others have said is the special bit.

Bravo for this framing which reinforces the pain of this statue-man, Bravo for this light controlled so well at the base, and I find postprocesing very adapted. If the halations are artificial, those the top are not necessary to my taste. A very beautiful image in which you put much emotion ;)
