| FWIW (probably not much) - lighting is too much. Try using a lesser light source, or moving it further away from the subject, or putting a filtering material between the source and subject (even a white piece of paper in front of the light will cut it a lot, but you can also use a white translucent piece of plastic - like a thin cutting board). At least you didn't do my mistake of camera too close and use the on-camera flash, with harsh front-on lighting and a very distinct shadow on the background. Interesting subject, and interesting use of the hat and necklace - the brown contrast with the green of the statue. Keep playing around with it, try different things and see what you like. |

| Not sure I'd call it low key. Startling and original all the same. |

| Looks nothing like me. I don't even like those kind of hats. |

Meets Challenge: 2 of 3. This is really borderline for me. The super bright lower corner is almost too much.
Technical: 1 of 3. Lower right is way overblown, and it feels as though the whole image is out of focus.
Emotion: 1 of 3. I like the little cap, makes the otherwise rigid statue a little more whimsical. But otherwise, it's just not doin' it for me.
Awe: 0 of 1. |

| Too much light, kind of blown out to me. |

the white light is very harsh. You could try diffusing it with a piece of paper. You could also try moving the light source slighty more forward of the subject.
The subject also seems a bit out of focus. |
