I take a lot of photos of statues, so I was interested in this one of yours. May I suggest that statues should often be taken in the "portrait" orientation. Since they are (usually) human figures, you can cut out a lot of extraneous stuff on either side of them by doing that, and at the same time capture more of the figure itself. Think vertical! (I even do it with panoramas...) I do like the texture of the white statue. Nicely rendered.
And he's been thinking for a VERY long time, by the look of it. Frozen in thought, really, and he's not going to tell you what it was either.
Seriously, the subject could be focussed better - the camera has focussed on the bricks behind the subject. Getting the exposure right on a white subject is not always easy. It's very easy to have the whites go grey when you're using any auto metering camera. Here, they haven't. Could I suggest that moving the camera position around to the right would help exclude the light coloured wall on the right of the frame? It's a bit distracting: without it the white of the subject would stand out more strongly - after all it should be the focus of our attention. Cheers, Ed
