it seems like i have seen this in a thread or something, the sky color seems a little funny to me but still an interesting subject angle and comp

The sky looks very oversaturated, it´s pretty close to being purple so I think you overdid it but other than that it´s only an average shot in this competition, I am afraid that this just blends in with a lot of other "good shots but not extraordinary". Keep it up.

Nice sculpture. It would be nice to see it in person. For me though, a photo of a sculpture is two degrees removed from some reality worth capturing. It would be like instrumental music about an essay. There's nothing particularly bad about this but the subject and the uplifting emotion it was intended to capture don't make it through two translations: 1) From reality to sculpture; and 2) From sculture to photographic image. I'm probably not clear and I'm new at this so just consider it an opinion. I hope you get other comments to give you a broader view.

Tiny fill flash could have worked to lighten the shadows. Sky looks great

Good placement, Would have wanted just a touch more fill flash I think.

Very saturated to the point that I just can handle, just 1% more and it would be to much I guess. Nice use of nagative space, and the top bird looks like hes realy flying. Good job.

very cool! i little more brightness on the subjects would have been better. try using curves in PS.

Nice- I like how the clouds duplicate the shape of the statue. The bird on top looks like a real bird who happens to be flying by.
