Post-Processing:
Crop - replace sky.
Extra Info:
This is the cenotaph for the Aboriginal people who served in WWII. The sky was dull grey and I did not think it did justice to the fantastic sculpture so I replaced it with a dawn shot I took last April.

Thanks for your comments - they are very encouraging.
This monument is overshadowed by the world famous cenotaph in Ottawa. It's location is not the best as the surrounding elements distract from it (imo). The carvings are uniquely Canadian (or perhaps North American) and that adds to the appeal. I think it is very powerful and moving and I was happy to add some impact to its presence. Some people who have seen the photo told me that they had never seen it but intended to seek it out - that was very satisfying.

A dramatic rendering of another's artistic creation. I like what you did with the background.

Really this could be a cover for a movie poster, video game, graphic and computer arts magazine. Very very powerful composition and technically flawless.
