I wanted to somehow show a real world version of the mind control in the Matrix. TV was the closest thing I could think of.

This is so true.
The little child statue actually looks so engrossed in watching the TV. lol Good choice of models.
I like the angle. We can see that the child is watching tv, really engrossed in watching it, and we can see that it's not even something great it's watching. The angle is good to show all this, and show how close to the TV the statue is to absorb all the 'information', which is actually just crap.
Focus and clarity look ok, although it's a little hard to tell with the 'texture' on the tv and the reflection on the statue.
I like the reflection of the tv on the statue. I don't think it adds anything to the 'meaning' however it's quite cool looking.
Lighting is perfect. I assume it's just from the tv, and it doesn't create any hot spots or really dark shadows, I think it's perfect for the shot.
While I think that this was technically well done, however, it's missing something for me. It just doesn't draw me in and keep me there. Still well done though.

Interesting in the context of the challenge. A little more focus on either plane would benefit this shot, I believe.
