Composition : Extraordinary... The positioning of Buddha's head on the "rule of thirds" grid is achieved with a certain something that makes it look very natural and un-contrived. The rest of the frame is filled with interesting curves and lines. Wonderfully done!
Exposure / Lighting : I think the people that mentioned the lack of light on Buddha's face have a point. That may have been the "little extra" needed to escalate this shot to the top. I have never had the pleasure to visit this site, so I'm not sure if a different time of day would have given you better lighting or not. But if you have an opportunity to spend more time here, you may want to shoot a few at different times of day. Particularly early morning or late afternoon, depending on which direction he is facing.
Focus : Flawless.
Post Processing : Extremely professional looking border. Very well done.
Challenge / Wow : The challenge is certainly nailed here. I could easily imagine this shot on a postcard at a vendor. A slightly better lighting situation would have truly nailed the "wow" as well.
My opinion : Great shot! One very small nitpick and I'm not even certain I'm right... Is the title misspelled? I thought it was "Buddha"... I could be wrong and it doesn't make much difference either way :) |

| I would have loved a bit more light on the buddha's face. Otherwise, super composition, I like the greenery in the background. |

| Very postcardy, and technically speaking a beautiful shot. The only thing that kept it at 9 and not 10 for me was a lack of a certain spung, that magic 'Wow!' spark. But I have to save 10s for *something*, right? :-> Great composition, and nice curvy shapes echoed all over. |

| Beautiful Buddah. I especially like that rich green in the background. Too bad the sculpted flowers were not able to fit into your frame. |

| Typical postcard shot, well done. The composition/cropping are ideal and the framing and text fit well to the image. Not too sure about the magenta tint in the clouds tho. |
