First Impressions
It's a bit soft, or is there a slight blur, hard to tell. Either way, the detail needed to be seen for such an intricate photograph is not there.

Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
Composition wise, it seems a very busy scene crammed into an uncomfortable crop/framing. A majority of the features and elements in the scene are vertical/tall in nature and the framing is not showcasing them well, especially at this angle.

Ok, I see this is a HDR, with all quite slow shutter speeds - explains the lack of clarity. It could possibly work, but the exposure seems wrong - beautiful craftsmanship/art captured here, but the angle it has been captured and the lighting, etc is not allowing it to come to life. I can't offer advice on gaining a better result using indoor lighting technicals, but I would strongly suggest seeking advice from the Forums or elsewhere, as it seems you may have the opportunity to shoot this again.

Cropwise, I think you have 'chopped' some major elements that needed to be whole in a composition such as this.

Comments, Score & Placement Review
55/80 is fairly low down the pack, but your score of 5.58 is quite good. An average of 7.16 from your commenters tells me that most were intrigued with it, especially for this Challenge.

Summary
Bit of a wordy title for this Challenge, one that doesn't instantly seem like a movie type title to me. A variation in cropping/framing, may have allowed more life to the scene and image. I can't also help but wonder about reducing the image to one of your exposures, in this instance - as the HDR doesn't seem to be enhancing the finished image.

Beautiful capture of color and detail. The next Da Vinci code movie poster maybe? :)

Comment by Yo_Spiff:
Nice shot, and the title suits it, though it does not scream "movie poster" to me.

Comment by Paul:
Very dramatic! A great, credible movie title too.

Photographically, I love the colours but wonder about the top crop point and the overall sharpness.
