Excellent photograph. The dodging is fairly obvious around the shape of the statue but it still looks great.

That gentle halo-ing around the figure is effective, even if it feels like slightly over-doing things. I wonder whether your highlights, for web display at least, haven't been taken just the smallest touch too far - this is a very minor observation, but in such a very controlled and precise image, I think it matters. Good light, and the blue/grey tonality is very fine. It's a beautiful thing - I wonder how many folks will hit you for lack of lines? Not me ...

Excellent. One case where a sharpening halo is a GOOD thing.

A good example of when a little oversharpening is a good thing. The subtle halo around the figure is very powerful. It looks biblical. Nice touch!

Like the grey against blue and the subtle glowing effect around the statue. Nice lighting and a good technical achievement.
