A shot from a performance at the San Diego Zoo. They had lights, but the dominant light was the setting sun casting a warm glow on certain areas filtered by trees in others.

Very interesting shot. I'm assuming the "statue" is a live woman imitating a statue. Inriguing enough to score a 5 though the picture isn't strong enough for me to score higher unfortunately. I feel bad because it looks like you put some work into it.
I'm not getting any connection to magic or mystery other than from the title. It's also dimly lit. Sorry, but this doesn't grab me. Maybe if the cup were smoking or glowing? 3.
Wow, I can't quite tell if that's a real statue, or one of those human statue people. Well done by the artist either way. The composition, if the background could have handled it, would have been better horizontal. Lighting is nice, if a bit flat. 6
