What a great shot! The crop is awesome and it just brings you into the shot. Even though there is a lot of grey here, it doesn't look too flat. There are a few shadows that help the statues to stand out from the background. On the down side, the image looks some what noisy and a little bit out of focus. It could be because of using digital zoom to get the picture cropped and not using a zoom lens... but I am not sure.

Very good exposure for what looks a shot taken at a time just before the golden hour. Very bright!

Dang... You Got Robbed!! This is an awesome photo. Should have ranked much higher! I was 79th place and there is no way this is just one better than my shot.

Subject is very far away. Would have been better closer. Nice use of backlighting and excellent use of available light during golden hour.

Great example of low key in color. The only problem with the photo is the light from above highlighting the one finger. I would have liked to see a little bit more light in the eyes ro brinng out some details.

The shadows appear very dark and the highlights are very blown. Whether on purpose or not, the detail has been lost in the picture.

Very "Flashdance" like... In other words, it is very cinematic, it tells a good story. Love the lighting!
