Exquisite statue and I love the grain you captured in the stone. I personally find statues by themselves make for a rather "static" image, particularly with the blown out sky. Focus is good and sharp.
I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

If you cropped it I think it is too tight on her toes. Other than that perfect execution.
