Comment by Artyste:
I just don't read any real mood or emotion from this. It seems hurried and there's no supporting elements to really sell the expressiveness that this sculpture is capable of.

Comment by SJCarter:
The black dots on the statue are distracting... It's a nice photo of a statue, but it doesn't really convey purety or holiness or motherly love because of the black dots. (6)

A beauty! I hope the DPC voters welcome this out of the box entry. I can hear the literalists commenting, "statues don't have emotions!" Ignore those voices and enjoy the quiet contemplative mood you've captured here. All the best.

exposure and cropping could have been better

Although I don’t say this is a bad picture I have scored this low.
Low in my book is not extremely low, but I guess there will be other people thinking the same way I do who don’t leave a comment.
Don’t take this the wrong way, this is my own opinion, and I am trying to let you understand what some voters may think.

In my opinion this does not meet the challenge, the description of the challenge: Take a picture that captures an emotion.
I looked hard, but I don’t see an emotion. This could be my fault, but that’s the reason why I voted lower as I would normaly do.

Very strong, I like it. A few things, I would of cropped out the bright top of the head or waited for better lighting, Although it is granite the contrast between the two colours is over powering, I would soften it, which would add to the contemplative nature of the photo. As an artistic touch with DOF, I would have more in focus in the back ground less in the fore ground. 8

The blue colors in the flower are good contrast with the yellow. Good picture!

I know the background is meant to be out of focus, but the shapes and colors in the middle of the picture draw my eye away from the flower. 5

I really like the background. Really nice blend of colors. The flowers simplicity is very pretty and I like the placement of the flower. Good Job.
