Too much noise on the black in the left.

I really think it is a shame that this picture did not do better. I thought it was remarkable. As for the comment about not being able to rate any black and white photo's above a 5, I disagree. I think black and white makes at easier to focus on the details without distracting the eyes with color. That does not mean I like only B&W, but sometimes it is just the best way to look at a photo. Great shot, still not the best in the competition but it was one of my favorites.

IMO I think you should have cropped out the red on the right side.
other than that it's a good shot

I really like the shot. To score it higher I would have liked for it to be a little more DOF and less shadow on the left but, without a tripod those would have been hard to pull off. well done

Simple, dirty and wonderful. Proving that you can make great photographs of almost anything. 8

Seems really lacking interest and depth. I don't know what the rest of the area was like but perhaps you could have had a focus on the lighter side of the sculpture while showing a bit of the temple in the back.

Comment by EstimatedEyes:
Nice BW conversion, but no strong subject for the image. The flowers on the sides of the path are too jumbled together to provide a clear subject to look at, but because there's so much going on there it distracts the eye from your main subject

I think you're cropping job was a bit less than perfect - perhaps cover it up with a border. Interesting lighting on the subject, though.

Good details but the maroon wall on the right is distracting.
