I like this picture except for the purple.

Hmm, I think you got a bit underrated here. Your technicals are well done. I especially like the well demarcated shadow against the mausoleum. Perhaps people didn't know this was a graveyard (I thought it was a museum at first look). Not that that should matter. One thing I don't quite like is the quadtone. It looks purple to me and I'm not sure what purple adds to the picture.

It also lacks just a bit of that "wow" factor. That's can be judged by the # of 8-10 votes. Still, I would have easily given this a 6 if not a 7. 5.3 is low in my opinion.

I love the coloring on this and the textures of the brick and the flowing statue. I am slightly bothered by the fact that she is looking out of the frame, rather than into it.
