I'm just amazed at how the sculptor got in all that wrinkly-skin detail. ;) Nice idea for this challenge, but a bit of a sad photo - like in looking at it, we betray him.

It's almost like a statue in it's purity and the way you have him captured. Very nice and sort of sad at the same time.

Nicely done. Peeking? Booing?

One of my favorites in the challenge! I love the textures in the skin and the contrast.

I like the contrast here.

I couldn't tell if this was a real chimp or a sculpture. I'm guessing real as there seem to be tufts of hair around the knee that would be really hard to carve. The fact that I couldn't tell, was my discomfort. The editing might have gone too far to bring me to this point.

You are a sculptor, and you have created something truly memorable, something that escaped the confines of what it normally means to be a "photograph."
