From the Critique Club

Hi- OK I'm going to keep it real here and straight to the point. I think you had a good Idea even though statues don't seem to go over well here. If your subject would of been in proper focus and minimal noise along with better border placement you would of pulled it off.

When taking this kind of shot the focus is going to have to be spot on and your going to have to eliminate most or all noise making a clean shot. I like the lighting and the warmth. I believe a border was need on this photograph but yours is off set (not even) and I think its placement would of been better around the edges of your photograph.

Overall a good shot that could of been benefited with a lower ISO and more post processing. Keep up the good work and wish you well in future challenges.

I hope you find this critique helpful and if you have any questions feel free to contact me.

regards,
SDW

Nice subject choice, definitely unexpected find but technically wanting. Overall cropping/composition and the speckling (maybe overdone USM) on the bear/statue are tough to vote high. 5

this shot seems grainy and the grain doesn't really work well for it. try to use a lower iso and a tripod since this is a still life shot anyway. also, i dont like the border.
