The crop is a little severe for me...a close up of the head and arms might be more dramatic.

Nice idea. It looks like the one angel wing has a tree "growing" out from behind it that detracts from your overall image. Maybe a bit more lighting would also enhance your photo - giving it some additional contrast.

This is a great composition - I think the lighting needs a little work. The bright patch of sky in the background distracts from the angel and the angel looks a little underexposed. Perhaps a fill-in flash or metering off the angel (and waiting till the sun had gone down a little more) could have helped.
