Very fun - I like the use of B/W in this. Lensbabies sometimes make me dizzy! But cool effect!

Nice placement of the sweet spot -- slightly off-center.

Hello, found this in the Critique Club section:

My first impression when viewing your image is how stunning it is to see such a big statue emerge from the building. It fits the challenge well too.

PROS: Composition is above average here. I do enjoy the natural bordering from the foliage up on top of the statue, and great framing overall. The inclusion of the window just adds to the mystery, giving me that feeling of "Where is this place"?

FLAWS: Lighting is a bit harsh in spots. I do like the tones achieved on the statue but other than that, its pretty flat in some areas. I know you mentioned the tilted framing and it does distract, but not too much to ruin the impact of the photo.

Overall, I think the photo scored what it deserved. If you could have increased the shutter speed, or maybe drop the ISO to 100 you might have had better tonal range here.
