It is a statue.
They have many interesting small and very large statues around the park.

For those who are interested, this lake setup is at the Grounds for Sculpture in NJ, which is a 42-acre sculpture park and museum. It's like a huge garden and outdoor museum with large art installations.
Such a fun place to spend the day!

Regarding the photo, I didn't do much to it, mostly just dodge and burn.
The cool effect is created by the steam which sits on the top of lake, and the sunrays coming down and being reflected back by the water.
Have to see it in person! :)

===================================================================

My biggest challenge with this image was finding a good composition.
I would've liked to make the model bigger, but with a tighter crop the sunrays would just become white stains.

After a few tries I ended up with this.
At the end my wife said: "It's good. Not great, it's just good." lol

I imagine this will ribbon unless the voters are blind, which has been known to happen. not sure how you even did this.

Different and original, the composition highlights the model well, even though she is far away. The mood is very special and quite sublime.

I wonder how you created that light effect.
