bruises on the leg (on the left) take away from what you were trying to do here.

I really like the grain in this. Gives a wonderful 'old world' feel.

I really like the composition and perspective. IMNSHO you may have gone overboard with the grain -- pull back a little?

A Killer execution. I can easily project myself into that pathos.

Positives:
Focus is good which works well for the amount of detail contained within the image.

Technicals:
As far as focus and detail are concerned this image is good.

Color is problematic, it does not look 'natural'. At least on my monitor the blue is to purple and the dried grasses are to red.

Perspective is also problematic. A different angle from a 'snapshot' perspective would be a lot better for this image. It depends more on technicals, including perspective, than it does on content for its impact on viewers.

A weak subject matter hurts this image.

The challenge:
Free study submissions depend more on technical quality than anything else for their score. The quality in this image, specifically related to color, is weak and combined with a difficult subject and pedestrian perspective you got a low score.

Bummer!

Nice symmetry. Might have been better with the knees closer together (to make a kind of heart shape).
