 The Superstition: Rubbing Budda's belly brings good luck. If you look at his belly, it does appear to be a little worn. I think that I could have composed this shot better, but I was running out of time. Took this pic an hour before the deadline! =)

I think this is a really great shot... I think the lighting could be a bit stronger possibly... I have been working on some similar shots recently and the lighting for these has been a definite challenge... good work :) = 8 - setzler

I like this but think it would have been better if a bit lighter.

How about I'll just get him a bra and maybe we'll shake hands and have a nice cold beer. Depending on what color he started, I would've left him in color. I think the lighting could've been little more dramatic too. - Good luck - Inspzil

OK. Good crop on the photo. Perhaps I'm missing something though on creative.

Good idea, but much too dark (underexposed) for my taste.

Wish it were not so dark. Maybe a lighter color background would brighten it.

Oooh nice - maybe a bit more brightness? And his belly should be there of me to rub, it is cut off. 8

Great composition and expression on the budda. I think a little more light on the subject so as to have greater contrast might help.
