interesting image. you've done a good job with the composition, and controlling the exposure. i hope that this is not getting overlooked, and that it is getting the attention it deserves. one note, on a technical aspect. if you are going to use a gaussian blur layer for the background, you may want to work with the feathering to reduce the slight halo-effect. even though it is only slightly noticeable. (and, if i'm wrong, please correct me!). good luck in this and the challenges to come!
Nice shot. A shot that makes you ponder what the hell a rock statue is looking upward for. lol It has a mindless gaze which allows the viewer to sit there and think and I feel would make for a nice gallery piece. Well done and keep up the good work in 2005. <9>
