Hmmm... not exactly stretching any skills by taking a straight photo of a statue. Try a little more extreme angle or perspective next time. You'd be surprised at how much "wow" you'd get.

Stautes are tough to really capture and make interesting. Perhaps a later time of day with a deep background may help.

For this challenge I'd have shot it from the front rather than the side. The side angle demands that there is more space in front than behind which, of course, wouldn't put the subject in the centre.
