Nice clarity, I don't care for the black b/g, lighting is good too. 6

This is a bit uninteresting. A shame as there are great colours available here and you could have done soething with perspective and DOF>

like some others have said, the color and the angle of the photo are ok, but overall it lacks interest to me. the connection to the theme was easily translated for me but nothing in it grabbed me. i gave it a 5

I gave you a 4 because I felt that the sculptor did most of the work.

It's a good angle, the light is okay.
The focus isn't very sharp though, and there is nothing about this man to tell me he is a 'fallen hero', he is not familiar, not in uniform, etc.

Hmmm...Well, it's a statue and, as most statues are, it's pretty stationary. As others have already commented, your photograph doesn't really add anything to make this more than a simple document of what this statue looks like.

As far as meeting the theme of the challenge, "Fallen", the statue's standing. It may be a monument to fallen heroes, but that's far from obvious. Now, if the statue were hit by a car and had fallen over, then it would fit or if the statue were of a soldier fallen in combat. But this guy's standing, ready to stand his ground and fight.

I didn't vote in this challenge but I probably would have given this a 5. It's a great shot of a statue but there's nothing dynamic about it (kind of like mine lol). I can understand how it relates to the challenge but I don't feel any emotional pull with it. I would need something else to make it more engaging to raise the voting score above 5.

I didn't vote in this challenge, but I can see some of why it cam in where it did. The first thing that struck me was that the composition is rather plain. A different perspective may have been what it needed in that area. The coloring of the statue has a greenish tint that keeps it from standing out from the background. A different white balance could help that aspect. Just my impression of what jumped out at me on first glance, hope that helps some.
