I'm not precisely sure how this image ties in with Grace, but I'll assume you have a reason and not let it affect my voting. The background is really pulling my focus away from the statues. If possible, try to get rid of anything that could possibly clutter the background with high contrast objects. This not only detracts from the subject but brings the background into play when looking at an image. If it is impossible to get rid of the background clutter, creating a shallow depth of field (via larger aperture) can blur the background a bit, minimizing the backgrounds impact.
I hope this helps,
