::: Greetings from Critique Club :::

Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.

First Impression - the most important one:
I read your comments and before I would have sworn this was a huge statue in a cavern with some sort of natural light.

Composition:
I'm going to have to agree with Shutterpug, I want to see more of it and I think portrait orientation would have been a better choice.

Subject:
Nothing distracting me from the subject. That's always good :-)

Technical (Color, focus, and light):
I'm gonna go ahead and say the technicals are all good. I perhaps would go with just a bit deeper DoF, but otherwise nice.

To grow its vote?:
To be honest, this looks very much like natural light in a challenge that called for "artificial" light. I think that may have worked against you. But it was good work on your part.

Summary:
I love it. I need to get one of those. It's cool.

Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy

I really like how the lighting brings out the intricate details of this sculpture. I would have like to see more of this - maybe in portriat mode.
