Hi Dwayne and welcome to the site!
It would help if you posted the exif data in the critique forum.
This is a fantastic shot! Very creative, is this an HDR?
I would rate this 11/12.
-1 Impact. While is is an excellent shot I find it a bit dull.
BTW- You have some great work in you website and I look forward to seeing more!

(My first attempt at critique)
Nice composition with great lighting. After reviewing the rating system here and would give it an 11/12, also, but would probably give it a full 12 if it looked less "oil paint-like" and more photographic image-like. It almost looks too manipulated for my tastes, but I don't know if I should apply my personal tastes to a rating because everything else, including the style, is excellent. So maybe I should give it a 12/12 with the caveat that my preference would be a more photographic image.
Btw, I see you're a Zenfolio user, too. I think I'll do the 14-day trial and see how it goes.

I have to agree with Rick and Mojo completely. It's a beautiful photo in terms of creativity, composition, a clearly unique style, beautiful lighting. But I have to admit, the reason I kept going back to the photo for a second look was to see if it is a photo or the photo of a painting. So impact is questionable IMHO. Critiques and judging are tough to do especially if there are no clear standards for how far you can go with post processing. So as a photograph, I would rate it 11/12, and as a fine art photograph, 12/12.
In any case, it's a goregeous piece.
