 The Superstition: Rubbing Budda's belly brings good luck. If you look at his belly, it does appear to be a little worn. I think that I could have composed this shot better, but I was running out of time. Took this pic an hour before the deadline! =)

I think this is a really great shot... I think the lighting could be a bit stronger possibly... I have been working on some similar shots recently and the lighting for these has been a definite challenge... good work :) = 8 - setzler

I like this but think it would have been better if a bit lighter.

How about I'll just get him a bra and maybe we'll shake hands and have a nice cold beer. Depending on what color he started, I would've left him in color. I think the lighting could've been little more dramatic too. - Good luck - Inspzil

OK. Good crop on the photo. Perhaps I'm missing something though on creative.

Good idea, but much too dark (underexposed) for my taste.

I like the idea, the shot is just too dark for my liking. Justine 6

Wish it were not so dark. Maybe a lighter color background would brighten it.

Oooh nice - maybe a bit more brightness? And his belly should be there of me to rub, it is cut off. 8

Great composition and expression on the budda. I think a little more light on the subject so as to have greater contrast might help.
