Greetings from the Critique Club
Congratulations on getting through your first Challenge.
Now, to the matter at hand. You asked for a Critique on your image, which is quite nicely composed in the frame and crisp where it needs to be, at the flag. (Just as a matter of interest, you might look at this image after cropping out a bit behind the statue to take the activity away from the center of the frame.) As far as subject matter goes, some of our DPC viewers are not fond of pictures of statues, and perhaps this affected your score negatively.
Then, in Advanced Editing Challenges, it's nice to have the extra tools that are allowed, including burning and dodging to, for example, add some interest to that sky.
Nevertheless, for your first entry, it's a good one. And I look forward to seeing lots more of your work in future Challenges. |

| I like the silhouette and the composition but the light blue in the sky is distracting for me. Personally, I'd prefer this as a b/w image or just leave the flag in color. Also the clouds look like they might benefit from a curves adjustment (or dodge/burn) to bring out more contrast. |

| I like the how half is in shadows while the flag is not. Might have been stronger if the flag was a bit closer. Very nice. |

| Nice silhouette work, shame the flag is right near the hole in the clouds, detracts from the subject slightly. It's a shame it's a statue and not a real horseman but a decent take anyway. 6/10 |

| a nice silhouette - but just doesn't speak to me. I see ther is a story here, I'm just not being pulled into it. |
