 This is shot at a wedding hall in Indonesia. It was a statue and the flowered tree is fake. I added some oil painting and poster edge to liven it up. I also sharpened and used black and white with some blur in the background. I was shooting at a wedding and this was a beautiful picture or scene nice for Christmas lights.

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An interesting image that probably does not meet the challenge.

Since the challenge brief is to let your partner know what you want for Christmas, we are made to believe that this statue is want you wanted for Christmas? I would be surprised if that was your actual wish? I would imagine your low score is confirmation of a similar reaction from your voters

The original image is appealing, you have a nice composition with good exposure and detail. I have to be honest and say that I am not a fan of most of the special effect filters and would have preferred to see it without.

Apologies for the delayed critique, as they say, better late than never, Sid

No, actually I spelled it that way because I have saved other photographs under statue 2 and I just uploaded the image and did not rename it. The leaves are actually Christmas lights with the Statue being in close proximity. I thought it was beautiful with the colors. I really like it as an image as Christmas since that is the theme being displayed in the place I took this image.

Did you mean statute or statue?
