I think if the face was turned the other way, this would have been better. As is it seems he is looking up and out of the shot. But nice detail and wonderful idea.

Excellent rendition of a statue. This is probably one of the best I've seen here for conveying artistic intent. The crop, composotion, POV and DOV are all perfect. 9 - good luck in the challenge!

Very artistic, and the kind of picture that makes me love photography. Great Creativity, great lighting, great subject, technicals seem strong, I really like the border. Its really hard for me to nit pick this one, because it seems so solid of an entry. But if I had to piick something I might say the subject should be on the left instead of right, because his gaze is staring up and right. Even with saying that I dont know it would make the picture better, it is probably more personal preference than anything. GL to ya mate, i hope you do well.

Nice, I like the lighting on the back and shoulder. I would normally want this sort of image more to the left to give it room in the direction he is looking but with your use of lighting you pulled this off nicely.
Good luck
