Compositionally, this is a strong balanced photograph. The statue being on the right third works well.
Technically, the focus is good and shows the texture of the statue very well, as well as the wall. The bw conversion you have used is nice, and I like the dramatic shadows. I kinda like the brick wall in the background, but it gives more a "modern" feeling to the shot, somehow, and detracts from the "oldness" of the statue, I think. A profile with the tree might have been the better angle. Also, if you could have had a more shallow dof to slightly blur the bricks, it might have made a bit of a difference.
Overall, this is a technically well done photo. There are no obvious flaws in the execution. It meets the challenge. I suspect,though, that it didn't "connect" with the viewers on any level other an an emotional one.
If I need to further clarify or explain myself, please feel free to contact me. Thanks for your participation!
