Great job! I love the lighting and the cropping. Having the face off-centered and showing a portion of the upper body leads the eye upward to the top right of the picture. - 10

Comment by Kavey:
Shadows too dark and top half of photo overall too dark. Ignoring that I like the content.

Comment by FranziskaLang:
possibly the oldest item photographed for this challenge. nice composition, too. the shadows are too black for my liking though. i would love to see at least a little detail there. i played around with the photo a little, and found that by increasing contrast, brightness and gamma this photo got a little more 'umph' which i think improved it. let me know if you would like a copy of what i did for comparison and to see whether you would like it. -- gr8photos (6)

I think this picture needs more light to truly emphasize the features. I like the general composition. karmat

Lovely lighting showing the depth of this picture. It's a bit of a shame that the majority of the light isn't on the face though. Still a great shot.

Congratulations on a phenomenal photo... I love the composition AND the lighting here... the darkenss adds a great sense of 'old' and 'foreboding' to my interpretation of this image.... These old statues are beautiful. I wish I had the opportunity to make photos like this in America. Our doesn't even date back this far :) Great shot... = 10 - jmsetzler

A good picture, but is perhaps a little dark.
