Sorry but the composition doesn't work for me. I like the diagonal lines, but the curves just seem a tad out of place. Also there is a slight halo effect around it due to sharpening, this can easily be fixed with a layermask. Maybe a different perspective would have a made a difference. 6

I like the sculpture, but the grey shadow lines accross the image bother me somewhat...

Lovely shape. The grassblades in the foreground (the ghost ones) kind of upset the general harmony of the image. I think they could have easily been cloned out to give the eye no break between the screen and the lovely twisted shape.

the blades of grass are distracting, but I'm also not sure what to do with the shape. :(.

This statue (?) looks really interesting but unfortunately the blades of grass you have going across the frame are very distracting and dont allow us to clearly see the great curves and colour (just my humble opinion)

The OOF foreground lines are too distracting. My guess is you're geting a few comments along the same theme.

Those blurry blades of grass are a bit distracting. ALso a bit more contrast would have been nice
