Meets Challenge: 3 of 3. Very good!
Technical: 3 of 3. I like the detail in the texture of the ground. Glad it didn't get lost. Maybe consider cropping the left side in a little, like 15% of the width?
Emotion: 2 of 3. The title really helps the image (even though I'm probably not supposed to be judging the title). I like that "Lost" could be referring to the cross itself, or the person who so carelessly tossed it aside.
Awe: 0 of 1.

This photo is well exposed and meets the challenge. The only things I would change would be to move the cross further up so the "t" in the cross doesn't bisect the photo.......and I would not include so much of the chain (it's a little busy).

Comment by Paul:
OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for my Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: I love the colour and the grain in this image and the close crop is pretty effective. I actually quite like the reflection on the forehead too.

Critical stuff: I'm not sure how well this all hangs together as a concept - the mask, hat and shirt don't really seem to gel and the elastic / string on the mask really needs cloning away.

Overall: Although I appreciated seeing such a conceptual image and I think the technicals are well matched - I think an image such as this lives or dies on the details and one or two of those let the image down.
