This is a cool reinterpretation of someone else's work. (Don't worry, not gonna cream you for the using someone else's art.) Personally, I would have pushed the forground figure a little further out of focus, but that's me. Mostly, I think there needs to be a simpler background -- both through the "window" and along the far right edge of the "wall". Since I don't know if you have access to this sculpture everyday, it may or may not be good advice to go back and have someone hold a sheet or something up to mask the background, but I'll make the suggestion anyway.
Here's one where an oof element in the fg doesn't hurt (IMO). Very good exapmle of using photography to add something to an existing artwork, and well photographed, to boot.
I originally marked this as a 5 (I look at each photo then rate them on immediate impact). Having go thro the process again I realise that this image is very cleverly done and sends a greay message. well done. gets 8.
