This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:

composition: nice use of Rule of thirds, and leading lines lead my eye down the row nicely

color:vibrant colors, a tad strong though.

contrast: good contrast in a general term

focus: nicely done on the front buddha

depth of field: I really like how you used such a shallow depth of field, its refreshing. And that last buddha is awesome, almost like a cluster of stars

lighting: Way too harsh for a still life. Try diffusing the light or finding an alternative light source for better results

other: In technical terms, its a bit of a miss. The colors are oversaturated, and the lighting is glaring. But, from a sensical point of view, its very interesting. I keep a buddha by my computer desk, for extra luck when editing photos. :-D. I hope to see your portfolio grow in the coming months here at DPC, you certainly live in a place where photographic opportunities await. If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to PM me anytime.

Cool idea, Nice crop. I like the DOF, but it may be a little too shallow, IMO.

Great potential with the color, and your lines are perfect!
I'd love to see a blended shot of all three in focus.
