Nice colors and shapes. Personally, I think you need a more atypical image when the subject is OPA (other people's art). The flat blue sky and late afternoon (mid-morning?) light don't really add anything that wasn't already there. I guess the low angle is something, but IMO not really any kind of photographic "interpretation" of the sculpture. Maybe on a rainy day with a dramatic sky or something in that vein would at least place it in time. This looks to me like what anyone would see by just walking up to in on a nice day. This is just my opinion, and you've done what you've done here well, so I won't drop a low score on you.
Good shot! Nothin against your photo, it's great, but this challenge isn't "good" for your subject totem. * Note: I didn't grade you down due to the challenge requirement.
Interesting subject, no technical mistakes, but composition is lacking. Maybe if you could have gotten something in the foreground to indicate a sense of scale?
I absolutely love the color and composition of this photograph. I don't see any technical flaws. Depth of field is excellent and everything is in focus. This photo is nicely titled as well!! Excellent shot!
