Good shot. The anlel of the "horizon" is distracting, but not too distracting.

I think this would work better in B&W as there a lot of unpleasant mixtures of colours which distract from the photo.

Nicely executed. Perhaps my ignorance of such fine things prevents me from seeing the link with December?

Seems like a little too much shadow. Hard to avoid, but it sort of distracts. Focus seems a little off too. Nice composition.

Nice and sharp, but kind of boring, just my thoughts

I really do like this...it has a very mysterious feeling to it. It grabs your attention and you find yourself searching it for details and yet they are very few and limited.

The lighting is extremely good and adds to the entire composition. It really is a very strong entry and I feel it should have done better.

Comment by myqyl:
Soft focus from depth of field on the front pieces doesn't add much to me... I like the "hand out of the darkness"... The knight is being moved, it only has one square it can go to (kb3), so I'm not sure I see the "indecision" here...But that's just me, and what do I know? :)

IMO this would look better in portrait mode, 90 degrees clockwise because I just cant help but strain my neck to look at it from that angle. Very well done though, nice lighting, no highlights on the watch itself and soft shadows and that´s not easy to pull off.

Excellent composition here good lighting and detail. Your problem as you have stated yourself is it is very weak in saying poverty. There just isn't enough here to know that it is a poverty stricken area or child.

I will though again say excellent composition...just stay closer to the theme of the challenge.

Nice photo with a gothic feel to it. I think you could have made a much stronger image by showing more artifacts of the structure There is only a small area of it that is well lit and it grabs my attention to look for more details in the columns.
