I would have liked this even more if you maybe were able to cut the shading in the center of the flower by using a light or something. Also I am not super sure that bokeh is just dof. I don't see the circles of light. Very pretty though.

Hi Dusty,

Sorry I didn't comment before, I gave it a 4, but I wasn't sure how I could really be of assistance to make this photo better.

IMO The composition isn't great. It's a nice angle from low down, as it makes the statue look very bold, but the background is kind of distracting, with the line on the left and the fact that because it's Duotone the statue doesn't stand out from the background which I think is necessary to make this picture work. Perhaps this would have done better in a different challenge because of that. I also think the contrast could be increased a little. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, I am just a beginner too.

Interesting statue - what strikes me is what appears to be a lion or tiger claw as if he sat on the lion! Nice choice of a duotone
