Although I have a pretty strong pro-"condom shot" bias, I would have liked the whole shot in focus. Congratulations on a nice non-mainstream way to address the challenge.

Keep it up!

Quiet Strength

I'm a sucker for pictures like this (and this is indeed a nice one), but I don't buy it as a depiction of strength. A solid image of that most prominent tree in the center there would have made your submission better for me. The road seems a little too overbearing in the picture.

Very impressive composition. Leaving the face out was a good decision in representing the power of the culture that made it (if that was your intention, as I believe it was), and not the personage of the sculpture. Also, B&W here definitely brings it to me. Nothing I see to nitpick here.

Strength with no control

I like the concept/subject matter, but the overall image might be a little too "clean" for me in specific regard to what's in it (unless you were going for more of a "this is just a bit of innocent white powder" look). I definitely think I would have liked it more on a scratched/filty mirror or piece of broken glass, slightly underexposed, grainy, not quite as zoomed in/less cropping, etc, but that's just me. The photo on a technical level looks fine to me, however, and I applaud you for even posting such a thing at all. Nice work (I gave it a 7).
