I find the sign above his head really distracting.

Nice lighting on face. Background is a bit distracting.

I gave you a 3 for this, although it was a very close run thing to a 4 - don't be too disheartened though, because I did vote consistently lower than my average throughout this challenge. Ivo has pretty much summed up my feelings - you have competently photographed someone elses artwork, but haven't brought anything of yourself to it. I note that you say you had originally wanted to photograph the series of three panels, but that someone was sat in front of one of them - I wonder whether there might have been a photo opportunity in that. Hope this explains one of your votes.

I gave this a 10 as I really liked the unique feel of this among a lot of entries that had the same feel to them.

I wasn't able to vote for this one Sherryll, due to being away, but I would have given you a "6" or a "7", re some of the entries were really top stuff.
I feel you did not deserve the 1's 2's & 3's, that you received, and don't know why you got no comments.
I really like your composition, and now that I have read your own comments, I like the fact that you didn't have to put a border around it due to the image that you took was already framed.
Well done girl, and keep trying, as we all learn something each and every time we take a photo.

Firstly, BOB is good! Now that we got that out of the way, its not YOUR shot. What I mean by this is that there certainly is a neon object but so what? The neon serves only as a frame and you are relying too much upon someone else's "art" to add value to your image. I like the crop as it is bold and concise but otherwise, what is yours?? You asked .. you got and BTW welcome to the 40s.

The hat doesn't match the kid or the color of his clothes. Background is great! It tells the story on why the hat doesn't match.

The fabric on his shoulder is tucked under, should have been straightened. The light is a tad harsh on his face. I'm not sure if its the way the boy is square the the camera or where he is cropped across the chest, but something here doesn't set well with me. I want to see his hand on the brim of the hat and his head tilted to the side.
adorable freckles!

I wonder if you get voted down simply for a religious subject? Hopefully not. I have no feelings about the subject matter, however this shot lacks impact overall. If anything it would have worked better without the sun (moon?) and puff of cloud marring the otherwise crisp lines of the cross. High contrast shots suit my taste, but I'm afraid there's just nothing going on here to keep my eyes interested. Good luck.
