I don't feel that statues meet the challenge. A good shot, the background is thrown out of focus nicely. Would maybe fit a challenge on Heroes or religion or something better.
It's a statue with human attributes...? Sorry, I was marking some images with a basic comment in case I didn't get back to them.
This is an interesting image. A little bokeh working in the background, the statue is well focused - lighting might a little on the hot side. As for how this meets the challenge I still don't see it as I thought the subject was to be of a non-human looking inanimate object. This statue is very much human looking.
I really don't consider a statue personification. More of an imitation. The image itself is good, could use a little better white balance, but I don't think it meets the challenge.
Sorry, this doesn't meet the challenge, it's dead centered like a bullseye and it's just not interesting. If you want a crucifix such as this to work, put it against a solid black background, and use a directional light to illuminate it in an interesting fashion. The red of the frame is distracting as well. Not meaning to sound rude , but this just doesn't have much going for it. I apologize for my bluntness, but people with low scores want to be told why, so I'm stepping out and doing just that. Good luck next time.
