"No, I'm Taller"

| [Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe |
This is my first shot taken in my own country on TE ;-)
I took the picture in Antwerp last friday. The high tower in the middle is from the "Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal".
From www.dekathedraal.be:
Not only is this cathedral the largest Gothic church in the Low Countries, it also tells a story of glory and prosperity – and even more so one of sorrow and disaster. This is the story of people who built dreams, people who expressed their allegiance to God and their fellow men. For over a thousand years, Mary has been the patroness of this Cathedral and of the city of Antwerp; each year thousands of people come and express their love and sorrow to Mary. This church is much more than just a museum filled with valuable treasures, it is still an active place of worship.
Time and again, we feel the need to have this story being told. However, we cannot do this alone. The Province of Antwerp and the Flemish Region both donate substantial amounts of money for the restoration of the Cathedral. Yet, daily maintenance of the Cathedral alone costs 1.5 million Euros each year: this makes your entry fee indispensable. We would like to continue welcoming our average of 500,000 visitors each year under the best conditions possible and let them enjoy the beauty of this building – this is a place where light and stones all tell a story.
I took this picture with the statue "next" to it, because it looked like the represented man is showing that he's taller than "the big cathedral". I liked this unusual point of view of the cathedral of Antwerp and the composition of the shot.
I hope you like it. All critique is welcome!
Greetings,
