Body... Temple of the soul.

In my Critique Club incarnation.

Won’t go into technicalities here, you probably have gotten the idea from the previous comments left of what your co-challengers expect from you I this domainâ€Â¦
I support your decision not to aim for the obvious in this challenge. Although, from your picture, I can’t decide if this “body is a temple” concept is something you stand for or not. Most of you audience here was raised with the metaphysical concept that the body is a cumbersome incarnation that we are finally delivered from at death. If you are suggesting the contrary, your message should be more convincing. Even if your torso hints an image of the great Leonardo, the arid bluntness of it says to me: “the temple of the soul” sureâ€Â¦and what next? If this were your message, an oversaturated color version of this same pose would deliver the idea even better. On the other hand, if you were to illustrate your title more adequately, let yourself be inspired by some of the countless examples of artworks celebrating or transcending the human body in a variety of ways. I just went through some pictures on grigrigil's website that could be of inspiration.
Keep having good ideas. Just give a little more thought on how to defend them best.

All the best, JJ

Interesting how the shadow looks like the Democrate donkey watching the republican president. I'd like to see a sharper focus on the had. 6 -danny

A devil or rabbit? Nice contrasts and shadows, they work well.

Comment by Natator:
Very clever. Is it just chance that the shadow is in the shape of a jackass?

I like the basic use of the elements to make a face. I love the effect of the lights in the glasses! I'm not sure that it call comes together though I fear that I can't put my finger on why.
High marks for the originality though!
