Just playing with macro on my new camera, so not very imaginative - I'm a bit new to all this. Taken on coffee table with my son holding a torch for lighting, not exactly technical. Would have liked to have taken out a few gltches such as the white spot on the forehead and the white mark just below the cheek etc, but the rules say I can't, so it's as is out of the camera.

With the notable exception of the two comments made by morons - thanks to everyone who took the time to comment! I am new to this site, new to photography and new to digital with a new camera. I really didn't think this would place so high.
For anyone intersted in seeing the subject for what it really is go to this link:
I had no idea this was a macro! I thought it was a huge statue in a museum setting with perfect lighting provided. I had given you a 7...to me, effort counts a lot plus you tricked me into thinking I was seeing something grand and perfect...raise my 7 in your average to a 9. I'm going to go snack on some crow now. : P
Very nice! I think this is one of the more artistic entries this week.. Is this a statue of some sort? I like the shadows and the contrasts here... great shot! - jmsetzler
Cool statue, took a second look before I caught on. Really nice for the most part, minor nit: cheek and upper arm are washed out. Photo 9 Creativity 7 Shadows 9 total 9
Very nice. I guess that's a sculpture, but the way it's photographed it looks strangely living. I can almost imagine her breathing! When elements are in shadow, we use our imagination more I suppose. Well done :) I feel like giving this 10.
Nice photo. I would have been more impressed if you could come up with a shot of similar quality with real people. I do like this but it falls into my 'of course it's gonna look great with that for a subject' category. I still gave you a good score...but it could have been higher.
