Hey Vistor:)

I did not vote this challenge but would have given this a 6. that you took a picture of a sculpture may not have helped. I read a thread where some folks questioned if ok to take pictures of some one elses work...just a thought. The composition of the image is on the dark side over all, not lending itself to standing out. The next issue I see is the face is taking my eyes to the left side and then out of the frame, I would have tried to have had more space in front of and to the right of the sculpture..this being done by fliping the image (DPC legal I believe) or taking the shot from another angle. On the monitor I'am Using here at work the Sculpture fades into the background at the bottom where it becomes difficult to determine where the two meet. I do think it does say grace just not with the impact one would hope for. I entered the tool challenge awhile back and had only three comments. I think I just did not have the most interesting shot and the folks that judged it felt the same...techincal was good but just no POW! anyway my thoughts. Hope I helped

Good luck in the future.

Self Portrait in Light

I did not vote this challenge. but for the record this would have been a three from me. the color,and light seem way to harsh. the framing with the extra space to the right of the model is also very distracting. because the image is so over exposed it is hard to tell where the Models eyes are focused...they almost seem to be "Wall eyed" detail is lacking.

Sorry:( I hope this helped a little.
