I am wondering if you could have shown the other icon too in full instead of a crop. His expression looks good too.
Lew,
I like how you caught this person in an obvious gesture of prayer. There is a nice line created between her gaze and the statue. The scene depicts a sense of reverence and supplication.
For some reason, and I'm not sure why, the figure on the right does draw my attention a bit. It does not, however, detract from the overall feel of the image.

I would apply a bit more processing and emphasize which subject is most important to you or who you want the viewer to concentrate on. The composition has a few good elements however none are fully explored to engage me, I can't speak for other viewers but I am immediately attracted to the highlights, nothing else really holds my attention. Nice effort.
