Comment by tvsometime:
The photograph is techincally good with clean textures and extended black & white tones. From the synopsis of the book, this seems only remotely connected with the story. Instead it takes inspiration from the title alone out of its likely aligorical context. I like the artwork, but can't validly give a good score of it as yours. 3

I'm not sure what the tie to the story is with this shot. I have only read the synopsis, so I may be missing something. I like the grey tones, but would like a little stronger blacks and whites. The missing left portion of the statue distracts some as well. 5

Comment by LandzEnca:
The image was nicely captured -- technically a good photo. Yet I feel that the symbolism of it all is presented, not by the photography, but by the original piece of art which was photographed here.

6 would be fair.

Comment by RKT:
3...this is so cold and hard. I don't see a connection to the story at all. Nothing about this says early 20th American South, much less the story of an African American woman making here way through life in that era. To me this just looks like a photograph of another persons sculpture.

A lot of gray tones here.
Good detail. Fitting title.

A brave novel from an African-American writer at a time of turmoil. The cultural sculpture reinforces your choice.5.

Very abstract, yet appealing in its off-the-wall nature! Perfect decision to go with B&W.
