I know this is not very odd, everything else I tried did not work. I hope everyone likes it as much as I do.

Critique club here...

Technically this is sharp and well exposed, the BG and the subject are all very nicley shown with good color and contrast. Very sharp.

Compositionally, very centered and static. A product shot that shows the subject rather well, but evokes no emotion from the viewer, does not cause me to think or feel or be involved. Tells no story, so to speak.

Could this be imoproved - sure. Not technically, but with a composition change - add a bird sitting on the statue, or perhaps more off center (rule of thirds) might make it more dynamic. If the statue was 'looking' at something perhaps, or even real nasty storm clouds in the sky might give it more impact, more emotion.

I see you are new to DPC. Welcome! This is a fine photograph, but DPC voters have their own likes and dislikes and it usually takes a while to figure them out. Look over past challenges are the top 10 finishers to get a feel for what does well here. That is not the end all be all of photography of course, but there are some fine images here none the less.

I don't like the numerical interpretation of this challenge.

I would rather have the subject a little more off to the right. Too bad the background doesn't have something more.

If you used softer lighting it would of helped conceal some of her complexion problems (just kidding) Nice simple approach, one is odd at its most basic level.

I wonder what this shot would look like around sunset or sunrise.
