Composition/Content: Interesting image. You've had some really good comments on how to improve this. The different sources of light create a background that is a different color than the foreground and that takes away from the impact of the image. Being a picture of someone else's artwork also takes away points. The camera angle hides the other figures jumping through the squares.
Camera Work/Technical: You've really done a good job with the focus, exposure, and the night shot.
My Opinion: I think that being mostly a picture of another's artwork, having a distracting background, and the main subject not really a square contributed to this image's final score in the challenge. Even so, I think it is a very interesting shot and would like to have seen it from the front of the figures.

You've set yourself a doubly difficult task here; night photography and OPA (other people's art). As to the first, it's not bad. I'm not wild about the shadows produces by what looks like sodium vapor lighting on the statue, but given the mixed lighitng your colors aren't too far off and the camera was held still enough for a clear image. My personal feeling about OPA, though, is that a photograph of someone else's work really needs to add something to the original to be worthwhile. I just can't see that you've accomplished that here. This is a perspective available to anyone wallking by this sculpture (why from the back, anyway?). From above, or below, or some other unique perspective is the only way (IMO) to make something like this work.

Very interesting sculpture. Great colors. Wonderful lighting!! But not a square - they're rectangles.

it is of good rythm and the warm with great force to jump through the windows

Nice angle of view and good choice of subject but I would have liked to see less depth of field. IMO this way the background is too distracting. It seems the area is floodlit by a large lamppost - the picture would have come out better at night I think, or during the day when it's turned off. Keep going!

it looks like a rectabgle to me?

The composition seems to straight a different angle may have been more Intriguing

Very nice. Well composed. But, why the butts? why not the fronts. nice gold tone.
