I don't know what to say about this photo. I don't think high contrast when I look at it. Maybe my definition of high contrast is wrong. Perhaps if the photo was framed and composed a bit differently and the white levels were pushed up a bit it might work better for me. This is just my opinion though. I'm no expert and I don't claim to be.

i like this! what a cool statue/bust... with the lighting you had, it certainly gives a great contrast.

From the thumbnail, this appeared blurry to me. I was not only surprised to find it sharp, I was surprised to find it VERY sharp. I really love the contrast of the textures here. High marks from me.

i probably would have taken the top off this shot...right above his eyebrow. makes for a better framing.

The quality really drags this one down.
