For me, the skull is too bright/blown out. I find it distracting, because it prevents me from seeing it clearly. I really like the composition and color. I just wish it wasn't so bright in the center. Of course too bright is what makes the environment so harsh, but I would rather see this conveyed without blowing out the highlights.

Well this shot would have appealed so much more to me if there was some detail left in that skull, usually I don´t care about blown highlights but when it´s so far gone as in this picture... Sorry but the image quality is just not for me, gave it a 3.

Great shot, really like the gold used in your editing. Great setup and lighting. Well done.

love the concept and composition but it is a bit overprocessed for my taste. (and I"m not opposed to worked images)

Editing feels pretty unsubtle and over the top, for no obvious reason that I can see

Unclear and jaded by the unsuccessful PP in my opinion.

A gorgeous piece of art. Not sure how the voters are receiving this as a "photograph" but I quite like it as graphic art.

It looks photo-like but also like it could have been multiple photos. Hmmm...I don't know. So, I'll have to err on your side and say nice job!
