Sometimes I am experimenting technique and I will just create a background without even considering what might be in the foreground. This is one of those times... I was thinking about the ruins of Angkor Wat

It looks a very mysterious and profound background.

Nice background. I'm sure it will be good for when the right subject comes along

I am concerned that the statue is too large and will compete with the foreground...

Yes, this statue head is very large, you can't see the background but I do like this picture

@ledante I can see how that could be a problem

I am less worried about the background and more worried about competition for the foreground

@cintol it isn't all that hard to fix, so that's not what I'm worried about either...

I think it looks great, will be interested to see what you put in the foreground!
