Nice focus on the idols.

This one is not working out as well as it might. A couple of things spring to my mind right away.

1. While the two statues are sharp, the woman behind them is also a significant compositional element in this image and she is quite soft. I think she needs to be sharp as well (using a smaller aperture) to turn her from a distracting element to an element that contrasts yet compliments the two statues.

2. I think you need to lift the shadow detail to bring out the statues a bit more. While you are working that. also think about turning down the highlights a bit.

You got the focus where it needed to be - Can you tell me where was this great shots taken?

Ahmet this shot just makes me smile in a very warm way. +1 to reworking the shadows and highlights.
