Thanks for the comments everyone! I was not expecting any type of good result with this photo. Very last minute, who cares kind of entry. But I appreciate the comments and votes. Thank you!

Thank you for the comments everyone! I didn't really go out with the intention of taking photos for this challenge. This just happened to be in my camera after getting back from the NYC GTG on 4/17.

But I must say that to anyone who thinks the statue takes precedent and takes away from the "PEOPLE" challenge, just remember that statues were people too!

:)

I starred at this for a good 30 seconds and did not get 'calm under pressure'... to me it seems more something about multitudes, scattered pices, coming together, differences, etc.

Interesting photo. Would like to have seen more of the face though.

Very creative, maybe better to crop a bit tighter, not much going on in the bottom part of the image.

Comment by ergo:
very nice idea, but it might be more effective with a 180 degree turn, face not upside down, and perhaps more stones beneath the face. 6

I like how the child(?) is facing AWAY from the camera. the light is a tad harsh, but I like this.

love this - had to look for a while b4 i 'got it'. IMO would have helped if you somehow gave the face more emphasis, maybe selective desat or less contrast on the surface texture.

I think the framing through the sculpture is inspired.
