This image made me concentrate more on the background than the figurine. The backdrop shows some kind of old and rustic household, where it feels like god is their only hope. The colors of the backdrop combine perfectly with the figurine. The image is sharp and makes me wonder why the idol is so out of place and not kept safely inside.
Congratulations on winning the contest. This is a fabulous image. Really love the shade of orange lighting on the gray stone. This is a very elegantly carved sculpture and the image does full justice to it. Also I enjoy how you were able to capture the story this sculpture portrays. My eyes kept gazing into every detail in the image from head to toe, wondering how skillful the craftsmen were who built it ages ago.
