 I took this today before leaving Ceasar's Palace in Atlantic City, NJ. I thought it had a touch of the Ancient Art of the Romans.

Used the clone tool to take out ceiling distractions and cropped a bit and resized.

This is a good example of lighting. I am glad that you used the clone tool to cut the ceiling distractions. It looks much smoother and is easy on the eyes. Some of the photos you can tell that they took something out, but on this one I cannot tell! Great Job.

The blue background takes away from the photo. The eye wants to go towards the blue because it is the only color. Other than that, good job!

The lighting on this looks a little dull and gives the shot a two dimensional feeling. I don't know where this is but if you were allowed to bring in more lighting from the sides it would help!

This is a nice choice of statue, and the soft lighting and relatively plain background help to make the photo more than just a record of the sculptor's work.

exposure and focus seem a touch off.

I really enjoy your angle on this shot. There seems to be a little bit of noise in the shot, but it's not bad. I really enjoy the blue in contrast with the statue!

That blue in the back is distracting, but nice overall.
