Hi from the Critique Club. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding this critique.
First impression: Colors a little muted, obvious religious symbol, interesting juxtaposition between the colored mosaic and the glass block above.
Composition: Placement of the subject is OK in the frame, She is leaning just a bit to the viewers left which I think is fine because it provides a connection to the viewer. With this subject, the center orientation works, and the head/eyes are positioned near the rule of thirds.
Lighting and Color: Colors are muted, and lighting is a little flat. Its tough to do much on a subject where there is little texture, a slight bump in contrast would help. I'm not sure what your main source of lighting was but I suspect on camera flash. Next time try a similar picture with available light only. this should give more texture to the scene.
Challenge: There is a lot of color in this pic, just not as bright as most of the other entries. I'm sure this hurt the overall score. Also, scoring can be rough when the subject is another piece of artwork, unless the pic has very creative framing or lighting. Keep shooting!
