If your camera is able, I would try a shallow DOF with a shot like this. You can't move the statue, but the background is pretty lame. A shallow DOF, accomplished by using a big aperture like F/2.0 or something, will blur that background into something more pleasant. Your composition is nice and I think works well. When I see photography of other art (like statues), I'm looking for something to add to the statue rather than just record it. This is most easily accomplished by dramatic lighting which gives us interesting shadows. If this is outdoors, perhaps trying close to sunrise or sunset...
