I still have this shot set up, so I can make any changes you suggest.

I think there is too much unused space at the top so I would suggest a crop to have the sculpture fill more of the frame.

i think it's already looking good. if you can move the statue just a tiny bit to the right so it's not too near the edge, it might look better.

I agree with siopaopei, it looks nice but it would look more appealing if it were moved slightly toward the left third of the frame.

What Claggy and Siopaopei are refering to is called the rule of thirds. Imagine that a photo is divided into 9 equal rectangles by 3 equally spaced horizontal and vertical lines. The rule of thirds states that a photo is much more attractive to the human psyche if a center of interest is positioned where at least 1 horizontal and 1 vertical line meet. As such, try cropping your photo to respect the above-mentioned rule - I think it would look much better.

All other aspects are, according to me, pretty damn good ^^.
Good luck!
Alex
