Beautiful composition. Don´t know what a "cooler" black & white filter would have done to this...

Nice use of the sepia tone to make the image feel more antique. Nice job.

Voted earlier coming back to comment.

The lighting and focus on the main subject is fabulous. However, there is not enough within the composition to tell me without a shadow of doubt that this is Virgo. I have to take your word for it and the title of what you are telling me. But if you show me that this is Virgo then composition would be stronger for it. It goes by the saying, 'Show, don't tell'. The wings on the statue make me think that this is more of a representation of an angel rather than the personification of the Zodiac symbol. Taking advantage of the Expert Editing rules one very simple way to accomplish that would to have superimposed/engraved the letter symbol for Virgo on the stone pedestal she stands upon.

There are, of course, more photo-manip ways to present the statue as Virgo but that would mean removing all the indoor museum background to place her into a setting that would carry the idea that she is Virgo.
