Gargoyles

A rare colour shot for me here. Just looking for general critique - composition etc.

The file has been processed a little in Ps (CS5 trial, a joy!), cropped, warmed and sharpened but little else. I like the golden light on the sandstone and the curve of the archway; I was thinking of cropping it tighter in but then you lose the curve.

Seeing as bumping worked for my other recent critique post, I'll give this one the same treatment... any critique welcome.

I like the stark side lighting (although it's a bit bright above the faces). But I think the shot would've been better if it was all in sharp focus. I find the out of focus right side quite distracting. By the shutter speed, it looks like there was quite of room to increase the dof with a smaller aperture.

The right hand third being out of focus and the lean on it spoil the image for me, sorry.

Thanks guys. I was practicing with my new large-aperture lens hence the blur

Perhaps I'll try cropping it down a little.
