Inner Strength

Comment by Azrifel:
The vignetting makes the mind close in on the statue and gives it a creepy feeling. Combined witht the toning it makes a wonderful exposure / balance, precisely what the subject needs.
The face looks like that of a child, innocent. The darkness closes in. What have I done wrong? You need a lot of inner strength for such situations. Perfectly presented.

Im guessing this is grigrigirl. I really like this photo. Very emotive and the bid on the sicks in the water really set it off. Sad, but telling shot.

How is it that you can turn the mundane into something this nice?

Uh, I first thought this was a line from that song... who was that again? Some blonde guy [googles] Ronan Keating?
Well I like the angle you chose, and thet texture on the wall fits the mood quite well.

My own personal view on this, being a huge fan of grain, is it doesn't work so well in this shot. I think it's an awesome shot, but perhaps a litle overboard on the grain, or noise whichever it is. Still a 7 though. Really nice.

Seems like a very dark grain - was it a photoshop filter?
