This one comes courtesy of the Critique Club :)
In a way, it's a little weird to critique an image that placed 77 out of 106, yet still received a solid 5.6684 (which, for reference sake, would have placed you 15 out of 108 in the challenge that this mimics).
When I compare it to the original (which may not be the best way to judge it technically, but probably the best way for this challenge), I notice the perspective is slightly different. Yours places slightly more emphasis on the skeleton (at its eye level) as opposed to the indecisive move itself (the original at the 'eye level' of the chess board). The image, while sharp, does not bring the eyes to rest as well - perhaps due to the extreme opposite locations in the image of the two places of interest (far bottom right for the hand, far upper left for the head).
The black clothing also tends to blend in with the table and background, which may or may not create a sense of confusion. Obviously, the voters liked this image and you would've done much better had you not been up against the extremely stiff competition in this challenge. Hope my comments help - just tried to find some things that may shed some light here. Let me know if you have any thoughts/questions. :)

| Nice expansion on the original! I like the watch. Too bad you couldn't get some cobweb action in there! |

| Too funny (this was my original plan, but I couldn't find a skeleton). Thanks for finishing it off. Cobwebs would help, as would a dusting of flour or something on the shiny chess board (it looks new). The watch is a nice touch, but down at the elbow most people will miss it. My model thought it was hilarious("I'M DEAD!"). |
