interesting sculpture, good placement in the frame but overall not that interesting to me as a picture

Comment by EL-ROI:
You did a good job with the light on the shot. There is a nice rim lighting on the head and shoulders, which tells me the shot was lit from behind the subject. So you also did a good job getting the front of the subject lit. Since the main light (sky) was in front of you there was a good chance of the background being blown or the front of the statue being in shadow and dark.

Some things to improve upon, try to keep the shot a little cleaner looking by limiting the distracting background. One way would be to use a wider aperture to cause blur, the other way would be to shoot from above to include only the green grass, or shoot from belw to get more sky. Also, centering the statue in the frame left to right would have heled a little.

Hope this feedback was helpful and not too basic.

OK. Big spiral cages reflected in what looks like a shallow pool. Not enough context to relate to this. Nice contrast & detail. This might work better as a B&W.

Circling and twisting....a place to re-visit with a 'challenge' of that theme in mind.

(Participant so not voting.)

harsh words from me, sorry; the subject is simply not interesting and I bet you feel it in the scores. Maybe just not the image for this challenge. You have done the technicalities right; sharp, composition etc etc. Sorry for my honesty.

Is that a fire escape, or the world's largest gerbil wheel?
