Shooting with very small apperture and narrow focus depth I think its very important what is put into focus and what out. In this subject I think it should have been the eye.
I am not very fond of the lighting used here...the amount of light in the right front seems like too much, and the light source in the back does not seem like enough....just my opinion
It looks like the focus wasn't on the eye, where it seems it should be. If it was on the eye it would be a much better picture. I like the way the lion is peeking into the frame with one eye.
Nice idea and composition, but the most important part of the shot, the statue's eye, is out of focus. Looks like the camera focussed on the edge of the mane instead. I would have rather seen the tip of the nose to the eye in focus with the rest blurred by the DOF. I like the lighting colour. I would have also cropped out more of that "dead space" on the left.
