As being a fan and semi-collector of gargoyle statuettes, I appreciate this shot a great deal. You did a fantastic job of filling the frame and capturing the details carved into the stone. The shadow cast by his brow intensifies the forboding look in his eye and I am intrigued by what the rest of the figure might look like.
Composition: Nice composition and cropping.
Technical: I like the focus and colourisation. Did you try a b&w? I think the border is a little thick and darkens the photo unnecessarily. Don't forget DPC adds a 1px black border, making yours slightly thicker.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: Nice amount of detail and interesting subject.

Wow, the sharpness, the depth, it fills the frame. I love this. I don\'t think I\'ve ever given a 10, but I just can\'t find anything wrong with this photo. 10!
Man he looks evil! I saw these (or similar) gargoyles in Paris at the Notre Dame last month and the color is strikingly similar. Good job on filling both the frame and the challenge perfectly :-)
very cool photo! i love the textures and the detail is amazing. the lighting is wonderful...the eyes slightly shadowed...it really conveys a menacing feeling. well done!
