Awesome tones, clarity & overall feel to the image. Love the highlights on the statue - nicely done. Suites the challenge perfectly. My top pick. :O) 9

I agree with rheverly, in that the cropping on the arms is a bit strange. It actually made me wonder if there was another person reaching up to take the statue away (which obviously gives the image a completely different meaning). If we could see the fold on the inner elbow, i think this would take away the question.

Still - i love the image, and the "question" actually makes you think harder about the overall image (so I guess it's not a bad thing afterall) :O)

I just looked through the entire challenge, and yours is the first I'm voting on. Wow. Awesome use of angles, lighting, and characters to create a fantastic composition. This goes to show - the use of all tools available in "Expert Editing" are not required to come up with an "Expert" image. Yours easily portrays what IMO is the most SciFi emotion in the entire lot. Well done. Rare that I give out a 10. 10, and a fav.

Almost didn't catch it. I actually wasn;t voting yet, and clicked on past this, but immediately hit the BACK button. That is subtle... I LOVE this ! Nice job on highlighting her face only. What a perfect look. I just hope everyone takes the time to see this. 10 from me. Well done.

Thought this might place higher. Awesome image - great processing & well staged. If every picture tells a story, this one could have 40 chapters. Must... stop.. looking... Well done :O)

Excellent use of grain here. I've been nailed for this in the past, but I absolutely love it. Adds to the overall feel/tone of the image. Well done.

There's just something about this shot. Great overall feel. Love the use of DoF. Points for making me look again (and again). Bump to an 8. Well done :O)

This is just plain cool. I have no clue what it is, but it's definitely my pick of the challenge so far :O) Nice & crisp, just the right tones, and very intriguing. Well done - 8.
