This is a cast from one of the victems from the vesuvio volcano eruptions in Pompei as they found him during the excarvetions. I had sevral images from Pompei, but liked this the best for the challenge because of the change from life to stationary in an instant.
Adjustmens, convert to B&W, crop and saved for web

I like the lighting and the B&W conversion of this image very much. The background is kind of busy and actually blends into the left shoulder of the statue. Although the statue itself protrays something that does move, statues in themselves are stationary objects and aren't the stronges subject choice for this challenge.
I'm just watching "Conan the Barbarian", and so this photo has taken on a disturbing quality for me.
Not that it wasn't disturbing, to begin with.
There's something about the composition which doesn't do it for me either.
Like it would benefit more from a rule of thirds adjustment.
