Very nice idea and the off center works because of the plant on the right. I think I would have liked to seen a little more open crop on the top to finish out the arch above the statue and just a tad more sharpness on the statue. Maybe a little higher angle too so you could see more of her face? Started at a 5, finishing with a 7

Nice image, but it looks a little oversharpened to me...

Interesting composition and subject choice. I like that details are visible throughout, but it seems like the focus is just a hair off, and there are some overexposed spots on the flower (?) in front.

Looks like you may have used your flash and it washed out some detail. If your camera allows, next time try playing with your shutter speed. I think if she is uplit from the bottom, this could have added some depth and demension to the photograph.

I like how she is surrounded by the rock and the plants - a circlular composition. The flash is a bit bright - too much on the lilies in front drawing our eyes away from her. Perhaps just natural light would have been better, or a light from a sourceother than the camera, more fom above?

This would benefit greatly from softer lighting (not a flash), perhaps a longer exposure *with* a tripod (to avoid the blur on the leaves) and a higher angle (so we could see some of the statue's face).

Flash/lighting is too harsh, which has spoilt this. 4
