It's a nice statue but something is missing to make it stand out.
Maybe a different angle, time of day?
I'm happy with the shot Graham , very niceMay be the reason Jim feels something missing in the image is that there are no surroundings in the image and the statue stands on itself. It might be a good idea to upload such and image with other images which include the environment . Then it would be a very nice series. I would also try a shot from another angle facing the statue to see how it works.
