Greetings from the Critique Club

Met the challenge? Yep, this definitely met the challenge. A very captivating and unusual subject, too.

Composition Good job of filling the frame with the subject. I do wonder, though, if a slightly less "head on" view might have been more visually appealing. And without knowing the context, I also wonder if providing some of that context would be possible to give a sense of scale - how big is or isn't this thing? Just some ideas to consider.

Technical aspects The lighting, natural I'm assuming, is good - good job with the exposure with what appears to be a quite reflective surface. Colors are pretty good, though the sky appears grayish and dull. Try working with your post processing software to "tweak" the colors and contrast a bit to see if the sky can be realized a bit more. Also, in the future, it helps if you include your post-processing steps when you request critiques or comments.

Overall I remember this one from the challenge, so it made an impression - very good subject choice!

I'm a bit curious to know what this is, but it's a wonderful subject for the Gold challenge. It does have a very strange, alien, dream-like quality to it.

a great sculpture, but as a photograph it doesn't really have the punch I am looking for
