Post challenge: This image came straight from the camera and I didn't edit for the basic editing challenge. Although, I've know now I've could have submitted the one attached.
Great idea!!! IMO would score much higher if the background/floor was pure white (could be done with some background lights... You can see my entry for the Personification challenge, I took a pic of some peanuts... I had trouble getting the ground/background pure white, so I used a medium softbox from above to flood the peanuts and background/floor with light so that the background and floor turn pure white, i'm still giving you a 7/10 because it's a great idea!
Great execution of the set, especially that carving. Lighting is well done also. Post processing is letting it down a little, I'm afraid. It comes off as a bit on the dull side to me. I popped it into my editor to see for myself and some quick adjustments really made this one very good. I'd give it a 4 if I had only taken only a 3 second glance, but you did so well with the setup of this, that I have to give it a 6 to recognize the good job on the setup.
