Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club and congratulations on your first submission here at DPC.
First Impression: Meets the challenge description well, an unusual and pleasing point of view and the image is enhanced by the lighting and composition though does look a little flat.
Composition: If you had managed to crop to the outer part of the circle this would have had much more impact and sadly as it is it looks a little clumsy to me. Was it your cropping that missed the lines or did you miss it whilst shooting?
Tecnical: I still think this looks a little flat but tbh rather than harming the image I feel it adds a 'mood' to the overall effect. Focus is nice and sharp and I wonder if you had opened the lens up to (say) 5.8 if you'd get a more oof backgound though in honesty I don't think it matters that mush as it works well as is.
Artistic: I think its difficult to be 'Artistic' whilst shooting an image like this. Its a good reproduction of a statue and as the challenge wasn't to make this your work of 'Art' I guess its a mute point.
Overall thoughts: This is something that most people would have overlooked (pun intended) so kudos to you for spotting it. I didn't vote in this challenge but if I did I would probably have skimmed past with a 5 as nothing really screamed at me to stay and view the image. After being here for 10 minutes then it would have been a good 6 vote.
I hope this helps? feel free to get back to me if you have any questions and good look for future challenges Santos. |

| There's something profound about seeing this statue, even if it's not THE Pieta, from this angle. I gave it a 7 just for that. |

| This is a very powerful image. Centered composition doesn't help this IMO. The subject and the clarity are excellent though... think this will be in the top 10. |

| You had a good position to shoot this from. This might look better with more contrast. |

| Content is great, love the message. Definitely from above! One thing I can see to improve this is the crop of the circle or the base of the statue. It would have been so much more awesome and added something to the photo to get the entire circle in. I also don't like the square crop. |
