First Impression: I feel that this just wasn't interesting enough, especially when compared to many very high quality images in this challenge.
Composition: Someone mentioned that the white background makes it seems that it is floating in nothingness. This works with it being an angel. Centered composition works fine for this angel.
Subject: I can picture this in a catalog advertising Christmas or Christian decorations. Unfortunately it just didn't have enough wow factor to get those higher votes.
Technical: To me the statue looks too dark. There's a lot of detail in all the cracks, or little edges.
Final thoughts: Congratulations on your new personal best!

I own this! :-)
There is not much wrong with this image, however, it needs something to stand out from the crowd. The plain white background with mediocrely lit piece is kind of boring. It needs a "wow" factor that would compel voters to go for those 7s 8s 9s and 10s. A 5 from me.
I like this one. I think I would like it better if there was something (shadow or texture) to give it spacial placement. (It looks like it's floating in "nothingness")
As you've effectively asked for comments (is it working?) here's mine.
I'm not voting because I'm in this challenge, but I think I would have given you a 5. It certainly fits the challenge. I like the composition and you've handled the exposure well. My major problem is that it doesn't look upright to me and I'm also not liking the wings being slightly out of focus.
Hope this is the sort of comment you're looking for.
