the centering of the statue and flower works well. one thing i would try to improve would be to increase the contrast in the b&w. the b&w part looks just a tad flat. i wouldn't change it much though.
Your color portion of this shot doesn't quite look right, kinda like it's pasted in. Don't know if it's because the colors are alittle dull or because the delineation is too sharp. Next time try feathering your selection to make the transition a touch more gradual...

Nice composition and good work on the desaturation. I hate to say it, but I really can't stand the frame as it gives a sort of post-cardy feel to an otherwise somber photo.
Something's not quite right. I love the idea and the composition of the shot, but the face on the angel is so dirty or deteriorated it really loses a lot. Also, the poppy...hm...not sure what's wrong there. Too bright maybe? It looks fake, even if it's not. It APPEARS as if it was creatively photoshopped in. Maybe if it was toned down, made to be a softer shade of red?
Sorry, I hate the border, it's too cluttered and draws attention away from the image. Ignoring that, the image is great, good lighting, good focus, and very nice contrast between the flower and the weathered statue. 7
