I'm new to photography, not really sure what to ask...

[Vernian]

Welcome to DPS. We ask people who post in the critique forums to include the EXIF data for a photo - if you don't know what it is or how to get it, have a look at the sticky post at the top of this section of the forum (here)

As for not knowing what to ask, it would help if you told us why you took this photo, what did you like about it, what don't you like. It gives us a starting point to help you from

Since you haven't provided any of this I'll give you a very quick overview of what I think of this photo. I can see what you liked about this statue, and its really good that you placed him off-centre. I would have liked to see a little more of the arm and the top of the head (so if you could zoom out just a little) Your photo looks over exposed to me - the most striking thing is how blown out your background is (all the white and too bright trees) Even the highlights on the buddy itself is blown out. If you included your exif I could make recommendations for how to fix this in futures (see this is why we want it :- )
