[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Polybius (ca. 203–120 BC, Greek Πολύβιος) was a Greek historian of the Hellenistic Period noted for his book called The Histories covering in detail the period of 220–146 BC. He is also renowned for his ideas of political balance in the government. (wikipedia)

very nice detail and texture. clean and crisp.
like the simpicity and the addition of gold tones
with a blue background makes it very appealing.

Hello Otto,

The placement of elements in the composition works well, directing our attention to the scholar!
Great details in both statues, and the blue sky works well as backdrop...

Greetings,

Hi Otto,

Vienna must be a city rich on treasures and filled with history, so this Greek historian will feel at home.
Nice detailed work and beautiful sunlight; do you also make sculptures?

Hi Otto,
This is very nicely presented and composed, simple and very effective.
Great contrast of the blue sky against the stark white of the statues and pillars setting off the gold of the crown. High contrast light well handled indeed.
Good job in post too.
Nicely done,
TFS,
