Woah, that's some serious stress going on on that statue... Strong textures on it, good blend in background, fantastic emotion, phenominal complete picture
I had the opportunity to see this photo before it was submitted in the challenge, if there has never been a photo properly titled, there is one now. Unfortunately this entry was not the way I saw it. The photo I saw would finish this challenge in the top three. Composition is impactful!
I really think if you subtracted, the very distracting background you have a very high placing entry. I am sure you have already got comments like that. So I would like to tell you what else MAY help. The subject is looking up, and to the right, and you have all this extra space, but none in the direction of the eyes. I think maybe the right side should be cropped off a little and the space to the top should have a little bit more. The Hue/Saturation may of been a cool option too, or maybe even complete desaturation turning it B&W. The light could of also been enhanced to show more shadow, giving much more depth. I am not trying to be over critical here, not in the least, I just really like the picture, and think you could of got into the top ten with a couple of minor adjustments. Still even with that said I voted you into the better half of the submissions.
