This is a comment from the Critique Club;

Ahoi - I see this is your first challenge entry. Don't worry about the score - learn from it. My first entry came second last and had a score of 3,3.
Your image, well - it does seem a bit grainy. Check your ISO - read up on it.
-The angle of the shot is OK, but check the crop. Alot of detail (statue hand etc) was lost during cropping.
-Use rule of thirds for composition.
-Focus is of - Try sharpening your images using Unsharp mask - worked wonders for my shots.

Don't let your score discourage you. Ask questions in the forums, look at the challenge history, read up and study AND practise.

Remember that voters at DPC like clear, Sharp colourful images. Learn how to get yours like that.

Good Luck.

Very funny, but only if you know the statue is in bronze.

The central position of the thinker weakens the composition IMO. I can kind of get what you're going for here, but the negative doesn't improve the image and I'm having a hard time staying interested in it.

its pretty noisy and out of focus, also i would have taken this as a portrait and not cut off the hand.

This is not sharp enough, or maybe too much filtering?
