Subject is a small piece of African art (that I own) as well as an African vase. Put together in a macro, they seemed a good match for the cover of Archaeology Magazine. If I had to choose the name of the article in the magazine, I would have to say "African Dig". Taken in a darkened room with two 40 watt lamps. Background is a piece of wallpaper which changed color to a reddish orange when the light hit it. This was one of my favorite challenges...so much fun to do and so many ideas that could have been used.

Colors seem strange, but this does not detract. Very nice, evocative shot. I like the feeling that this collection goes on, hinted by the vase in the background.

Excellent use of colour (was it taken this way or colourised afterwards?). Nice composition, interesting background. 8

The composition with the light and dark background with similar tones against the statue look great, I could see this on a cover. One of my favourites of the challenge.

I'm not sure I like how this is divided in the background by that pot. The pattern is a bit distracting from the main subject in the front. The angle and framing/cropping of the statue is good. and I could see this on the front cover, with a different background. maybe just a plain one. continue the right side all the way to the left edge of the frame, and I think that would appeal to me more.

I really like the color of this image. This is "cover quality" all the way.
