Fortunately the title doesn't affect my score here, but I think that's Hermes (or Mercury), the messenger of the the gods. Hints are the winged hat and caduceus (staff entwined with serpents -- symbol of the medical profession). |

Good composition but I do not like black as negative space. |

I like the stark coldness of this BW. I don't find the composition with the statue positioned so low and to the left adds anything for me, I'd probably prefer it further into the frame, though there is an element of his arms being open to the darkness. 6, Kavey |

Technically it is the negative space that is supposed to wow you but still this is to good of a photo not to give it a ten. |

I could be wrong, but I think that's either Mercury the winged messenger. Nice shot. I don't understand neg. space well enough to comment, so your grade is mostly your photo. 9 Swash |

i really like the theme in this photo.. the dark background is also very nice. I'm actually amazed that you were able to get such a brightly lit subject and keep the background this dark. The composition with the subject in the lower portion of the frame is also quite nice... It gives me a strong impression that I'm looking up at this statue. I'm no expert on mythology (or much of anything for that matter), but isn't this Mercury and not Herclues? I thought that Mercury has the wings... maybe those were on his feet though.... good work :) = 9 - jmsetzler |

Sorry, I am not that good in Greek deities, but this is rather Hermes than Hercules. But good pic anyway :-) |

I would have preferred him loogin the other way. Can you call the sculpture artist and have him do it over? Thanks, that'll be great. - bamaster (8) |

I know some people are probably commenting about the "black negative space". It was talked about in the forums as being uninteresting, or something. However, i really like it here. I think it was applied very nicely. He seems to be welcoming in the darkness. I love the angle and framing. Originality a plus, creativity however is lacking. Very nice that it is not dead center. Lighting worked perfectly for the effect. Overall great job. Good luck in the challenge. 7 ~Hbunch7187~ |
