Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Outstanding capture with Sharply focused fine detailed features & smooth textures.
How I'd wished somebody had the initiative to cover the distracting backdrop with a midnight blue curtain!
That way the focal point & contrast would be impressive.

You can still crop those human subject at the sides...
Just a friendly suggestion though...

Subtle illumination.
Sharply focused.

Good perspective & long depth of field...

The contest stipulated no resorting to any layers. So I just posted what I had shot last year without any change barring slight adjustments. I am very glad you liked it. Thank you so much for the positive review and support. I really appreciate it.

Thanks buddy for the suggestion to remove those humans. I did it and yes, it is looking better!:):)

Quite a dramatic looking statue shot posted here! It certainly deserves its full and central composition. Your image is sharp and well exposed. Well done!
