Interesting shadow, but the overall composition, not so much. A little space to the left of the "cowboy" and maybe more of the dog's legs (rotate clockwise a bit?) might have improved it.

it is a lovely icon. I do wonder what possible lingam baby or adolescent Jesus holds in his left hand, and at the Buddhic thumb and finger in his right.

Hidden face

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Initial impression...a hidden face...ok, see what looks like an ear on the left middle third roughly where an ear would be, and the hint of a closed eye and possibly a lip below. I can see the suggestion of an oval face.

However, overall this image almost meets the challenge descrip too well, it is a very tough challenge, which is why I didn't enter :-). On the one hand you want the shot to be a macro and an abstract, but if it's overly abstract - as voters seem to have found it - you get low scores.

I like the stained glass effect but a clearer image - if the face had been in profile, say - would have helped immensely.

Hope this critique has been of help, feel free to PM me.
