Difficult to think about it w/o the subject, nice place, the sky seems blown out. |

Nice shot. Interesting subject. No s-curve used as a leading line. |

You have an interesting location but the image itself feels a bit flat. Nothing dynamic about it to make me want to hang out longer to view. |

Im not really feeling the s-curve of this shot. Its not quite as in-your-face obvious as i think this challenge calls for. |

Not trying to be mean here but as part of the purpose of this site is to learn, I wanted to make mention of the point of the challenge.
An S-Curve is a compositional tool, like the rule of thirds or leading lines, that helps in making the image stronger. Normally, the S-Curve is to lead the viewer's eye through the image or to the subject. I've noticed a lot of submissions that simply include an S shape somewhere in the image but this misses the point.
If used properly, the S-Curve is a very powerful compositional tool. While your shot is nice, the "S" that you've included is really just an element and doesn't really lead the viewer's eye.
I do hope you'll take this as I mean it. I certainly don't mean to criticize your image. |

I looked at the photo before reading your title, and saw the walkway as the S-curve element leading me into the photo, rather than the curves of the sculpture. |

Actually, the S-curve my eye followed was from the bottom right corner, and up through the opening in the middle, then left again. |

It's a good photo but the overly descriptive title wasn't necessary and detracts IMO. |
