Here's my take...
First off I cropped it pretty hard. All that bright, negative space is pulling my eye away from the subject which is your statue. This puts it a little too centered in the frame but makes for a simpler, more powerful image. The face is expressive and I think the shot works with this as your focus.
I upped the exposure a bit. The statuary was a tad underexposed, probably because of all that bright sky that has now been cropped out. There appeared to be some loss of detail in the shadows but that could be my monitor, so judge that for yourself.
Sharpened it: Just a nudge, really, but it gives the image a little more "pop".
I'll be curious to see what other people have to say, suggest.
