Photographer’s Note

Rakvere is also known now for its Tarvas statue which was made by the Estonian sculptor Tauno Kangro. It's thought to be the largest animal statue in the Baltic countries.
It is situated on the edge of Vallimägi Hill and was erected for the town's 700th birthday. Along with the granite block it sits on the statue is 7 meters long, 4 meters high and weighs about 7 tons.
The statue is made out of bronze. The names of the people who supported its financing are engraved in the granite block. [Wikipedia]

Tere Hanno!

You had a wonderful sky that day and the black color of the statue playing against it makes it very symbolic for Estonia. But I know you probably weren't thinking blue-black-white at the time you took the photo. ;-)

The statue is framed very nicely but what would add even more interest is including something in the composition that would give the viewer an idea of how massive this statue is. One example would be to include a person in the photo. Another example would be to shoot it from a wider angle so that we can see what the surroundings are.

Nice photo!
