Greetings from the Critique Club:
While there is infinite suffering in the memories of the families and friends of those lost on September 11th this image doesn't do justice to that emotion or to your skills with a camera. The angle from which you shot the image is awkward, there is too much glare, too many light bounces, and general distraction. I think you may have included some of those to give a cosmic sense (as in the cosmos, stars) of galaxies floating on into the infinite in the upper right corner. I think that could have been really powerful if you had chosen a different angle and DOF.
Would you want to try and shoot it again from different angles and with a bit more control of the light? You had a good concept for the challenge, it just didn't quite come across and it is sometimes helpful to go back and try again. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

the forced close up and pixilation are really problematic here

I like this one more as I look at it away from the many that were in the challenge...the shadow on the right is evident but overall it is a lovely statue well captured
