Hi, this is a comment from the critique club!

First of all, the composition is good. The statue is good in the frame and the (small) negative space on the left is well done.

Having the challenge-topic in mind, I'm not sure if this fits. Ok, the subject is overexposed, but while overexposing one subject with backlight, the contrast goes way down and that way the photo is "just" overexposed. Try being creative with the technique is my advice.

I hope this comment was helpful!

While this does meet the challenge the image itself is lacking impact. It just doesnt grab me.
