Have you tried flipping this horizontally so that the angel is on the L side? You have a strong "punctum" in this image of the statue and the nice diffused background supports the main focal point.

Is it what you mean Still? It makes a difference I couldn't explain, can you? Is it something to do with the direction we read in? You see, I have flipped it and then noticed that it needed straitening. And I did it.
Yes, the natural pathway of the human eye (the western eye) is to read from L to R and that is why images look stronger when composed that way....I think there is a vast improvement

That iron pole smack dab in my face is truly a distraction but the lighting is really wonderful and I am reminded to shoot cemeteries during the haunting hours of day!
