There is no bad without good... I have lost the comment I typed in for this Critique submission and have to restore it again. But now my thoughts are better formulated.
I gave this image +7 and very surprized by the overall position it got :-(
I think the author put much more subconscious artistism in this image than many people have realized.
First, the color contrast is amazing: if you negative the image the sculpture will become violet and the background - cyan. Nice complementing colors make perfectly matching antagonists when negated.
Second - the composition is very interesting. The sculpture is cropped around and does not represent point of interest by itself. In we see the background as symbolic rising sun - the figurine fills the symbol with context and does not need to be represented as a whole.
Third - the overburned hilites of the sciplture create several interesting effects. They do not accentuate the relief but look as if the sun is burning through. Also, being not bound to the characteristic shapes of the scuplture they look exactly like "painted with light"! Nice match to the challenge.
And the last but not least - the title is very good: symbolic and meaningful.
The criticism I will leave to those who dumped this picture to the 88th place...
Great work, Mark! Keep it up! |

| This is okay. what happened to the top of this mate's head? THe highlights are too bright. The green light is a good touch. |

| The blowout on the figureine is very distracting and I think the overall lighting of it could have been lessened. You might have a more mysterious looking result. The less bright of the green is not a bad color and I like it against the background color. |

| I like the colors and the idea. I do think the dust and light flashes are a too distracting. |

| Shame that the top of the head has been cropped and I cant see that ot has been "painted with light". It simply looks like 1 or more static lights. |

| One of the difficulties in this challenge was to avoid unwanted highlights. I don't think that this shot succeeds that well. Sorry. Still, a lovely pose and an interesting combination of colours. 5 |
