Enclosed in stone

I don’t take that many photos of statues, but this one really looks interesting. Would love to see how they fit them into the stone :) This is the Julius Zeyer Monument in Prague.

I took this photo one early morning. I went to the Letna park to take some photos of the city, and the weather was nothing much. So I explored the surrounding area and found this monument. I went for a nice and tight crop here, as it was quite cloudy, and the sky was just boring. Also as it was quite early in spring, the surrounding trees were also nothing much.

I actually made a little video while shooting there (no exactly on the same spot, but not far from this). Not much, just showing few steps, same as I mention in my HDR tutorial

And here is the daily photo:

Number of exposures: 5; Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II; Lens: Canon 24-70 mm F2.8;
Focal length: 70 mm; Aperture: 8; Middle exposure time: 0.3s; ISO: 100; Tripod used: yes
