you did an awesome job! The only thing that is distracting is the light, white circle on the right corner. I'd use Photoshop to bloch over it.

This looks like hope and promise...to me...not despair...probably just based on my spiritual relationship. I'm sure to some maybe it could say despair. I think your cropping could have been more thoughtful and I'm not sure I love your perspective.

Pretty good but you cut off part of her fingers on the left! Plus you should have darkened the dark areas more, but still very good. 7.

Lots of interesting grays, and I like the cropping. try fiddling with more contrasts.

I think I would like to have seen a bit more room to the left here. You chopped off her fingers. I'm not a religious person, but when people see this statue, doesn't is represent hope rather than despair? Like I said, I'm not religious, so I wont claim to understand the meaning. I'll take your word for it. The lighting seems alright for the most part, but I'm not sure I like the light glare in the bottom right. Otherwise, a nice shot. Good use of the blank background, and black and white is a good choice also. Good luck in the challenge.

This statue is supposed to represent hope, not despair. Too bright in places, glare in bottom right.
