This is beautiful and extremely well taken. It just doesn't speak to me like some of the others. 9.

nice capture - you made the composition your own rather than just being documentary of the sculpture

Cool subject... good job keeping the shutter speed nice and short to get nice, defined drops but keeping the subject sharp from front to back, even with the wide aperture required for the shot. The smooth, white marble, transitioning to a darker color looks almost like the water bearer is coming to life in real flesh through the marble, particularly around the shoulder.

This has fantastic depth with the water and the brown discoloration and the marble...The composition is stunning, the light is perfect, there is a busy quality about the top 1/6 of the photo but the contrast adn depth is excellent. All these qualities only speak to the fact that you are a master among masters. Does this lack the emotive message that would send it soaring above the other photos? maybe. Even still its top notch.
