Statues and figurines did not meet the challenge in my opinion.

Sorry, I see this sculpture as being a personification by the sculptor, not the photographer. Nice angle, though, and the colour of the rosary beads enhances the serene effect of the photograph by picking up the green tones in the background.

Comment by inspir8tion:
A lovely statue and Iike the addition of color in the rosary, but IMO it does not meet the challenge "Take a photo of something non-human-looking but yet still shows human characteristics or evokes a human feeling." This is definitely human looking.

It's a statue with human attributes...? Sorry, I was marking some images with a basic comment in case I didn't get back to them.

I like your image here - the DOF is nice with the blurred out background and the statue is very clean (neat imaged maybe?). As for how this meets the challenge I still don't see it as I thought the subject was to be of a non-human looking inanimate object. This statue is very much human looking.

I personally think objects or images made to represent a person are not good examples of personification.

I personaly don't feel that statues meet the challenge. A nice religious shot though.

maybe I'm too literal...I thought the contest rules stated, "...non-human-looking but yet still shows human characteristics..."
