 Taken last minute in my garden of a samari statue I have near my pond that had taken a battering from the rain and is a little worse for wear

Don't expect much from it as it's not overly exciting but I really like the statue and so I thought i'd enter anyway

I thought this should have placed higher as well. Very good subject for the challenge, it's a wonderful statue and I like your composition. Excellent B&W tones. The cobweb is quite noticeable but I'm not sure that's a bad thing, despite comments to the contrary.

I like the cobweb and love the image. Just because an image doesn't immediately shout in your face doesn't make it a bad one. Quite the opposite in my book. Should have placed much higher. Well done.

Oh, wish you would have go rid of that cobweb. Would have been perfect if that was not there.

the 'string' coming out of his head is very distracting, the image is good overall 7
