If these eyes could see

this would honestly feel a lot more symmetrical to me if your hands were not mucking about in the picture throwing a tilt on my perspective. you have introduced a second variable that you have tried to make symmetrical, and mostly succeeded in, but they are not symmetrically placed around the skull and it comes off feeling disjointed.
The primary subject is definitely interesting enough to stand on its own and i feel you are going to lose points on this for the above stated reasons.
a 6 from me, probably would've been an 8 or 9 without the hands

Symmetrical (mostly) but feels somewhat flat. It feels like you're on a slight angle and have cropped this to get the symmetry in the image, mostly this is due to the bannister on screen-left being three-dimensional while the one on the right seems flatly two-dimensional.
increas in contrast might help this pop out a bit more, and it seems that you missed out on a chance at some wonderful natural lighting.
6 from me.

looks like christoph in the picture.
love the background and the idea, but the dird itself leaves me feeling that it was more neglected than the rest of the image.
a 6 from me (5/5 for everything else, 1/5 for the dird)
