Suggest cropping off more of the left hand stuff that doesn't add to the picture. Wondering who this statue is. Connection to the theme is so so (it doesn't make me think: Silence).
this shot is very provocative.. the composition is great.. the sculpture is a great subject.. how much more silent can you get than this guy? shades, tones, colors.. this image has a lot going for it.. nice work..
engaging color palette and lighting - to make this solid shot stronger I'd suggest giving some space below the chin (seems too close to the edge) and shifting the face right or left a bit.
