I think photographs of statuary, or installation art in general, are kind of a tough sell. At a minimum, the photograph should offer something new by way of a novel point of view, lighting, or some such -- something that a visitor to the site wouldn't readily see. A better bet is to inculde the piece as part of a greater composition by way of arrangement or clever juxtaposition. Street photographers love to do this.
Your shot is an okay picture of a statue -- you got close so we some detail that the casual visitor might miss. But any feeling of awe really belongs to the statue's creator.
