The image ought to be sharp, to score well (at least, a part of it). Take care next time.

This clearly meets the challenge description ... but falls short in terms of clearly showing the interior on any level. It's a shame -- a wonderful subject that no doubt holds tremendous potential and yet it's sufficiently lacking in focus to leave me wondering where exactly the plane of focus was? I don't mean this to sound harsh -- I really tried to find an area of focus and that kept me from appreciating the details I wish I were seeing . . .

Great idea and composition, but too out of focus to really have the impact that you were looking for from the viewer.

subject is tilted and the photo quality isn't very good

These are great sculptures. A sharper focus would really have given them justice

soft focused/blur and crooked .

This is so out of focus it's difficult to look at.

This photo is very much out of focus and tilted as well, what an interesting subject though....

I like the nested view concept but the tilt and lack of focus bother me. This is a fascinating looking temple.

amazing sight - wish the sculptures in the top half of the frame were in focus.

Interesting shot... the OOF perspective makes it lose impact.

nice image but seems out of focus

This could be improved by straigtening and using greater depth of field (smaller aperture). The loss of focus on the lower through the archway section is a pity.

wow what a great subject. Need to open FOV and focus throughout. This kind of photo with such great detail deserves to be shown.
