This is a strange one. I think it would be more successful if the focus was a bit clearer. I can't really see it wreaking havok, it looks more like he's resting after wreaking havoc :-)

I don't get the headline at all, or the picture, for that matter. What are you trying to portray? 3

Yiou have a very pleasing image with playful colors. The black background helps the gold really sparkle. Not much in the way of probable news.

I find no journalistic relevence in this photo. Journalism is about facts not fancy. The lion is in fact just sitting there, as it is inanimate objects are inclined to do. A news story is meant to inform a wide public of an event or issue. What is this informing us of? In regards to the challenge, this doesn't work for me.

This point of view hurts the composition since you get to much distortion of perspective in the columns. The column leaning in at the right edge suggest that not a lot of care went into the composition. Either show the whole thing or crop it out but it is usually best not to have partial elements leading the viewers eye to the edge of the frame with no real reward. This suggests to me that a vertical format might have worked better to bring focus to the lion.

That's a great lion, but I don't see any havoc. I do like the humor of the idea.

Can't really make out the face of the lion. Good composition though.

Hard to see the detail of the lion. (not sure if that's because the statue looks like that or what) good job though.

The reflections on the lion make it hard to see the details. It almost looks like a big rock.
