(reposting from *hrn's submission)

I find this work very intriguing. I like the concept merge -- Atlas' burden, and the golden ratio / Fibonacci spiral, and the gradual departure from classical (the statues), to the conceptual (the 3D model), to the abstract (the spiral and diagrams).

Two things that lessen the impact of the image, in my view: One, the two parts remain separate, as if they were simply placed one atop the other with not enough post-processing. I would like to see some of the diagrams begin from further down, or perhaps the texture from the statues extend a little to the model.

Two, the image relies heavily on negative space, and it needs more. The figures on the lower part are cluttered. The diagrams on the upper part push against the border of the image. I think that with some better handling of the composition you could have a very nice paradox of a light and airy structure massively weighing down the Atlas figures below.
