pixelated. overexposed especially on white areas. seems perhaps tilted. subject is interesting, and the background is not cluttered which is good. i appreciate the good explanation, i just don't think the photography was successful.

she is absoloutly gorgeous... it has something to do with the death festival no? looks exactly like the GRIM FANDANGO game figures.
I hope you bought it as well :) I would have.
now for the shot - I am not really into flash indoors, but sometimes there is no other choice. I would have loved to see this shot in sunset light - a natural one. I think the flash makes it look a bit cheap because of the many 'bright' areas. but beside that, its very nice. well framed and pose is wonderful.

I hope you bought this statue!!! It is realy beautiful...

Technically you could have done better: the face is a bit too over exposed...
