Great indoor shot, you've used the lighting to great effect and captured some great shadows.

Beautiful sculpture of that strong Black African prince. The fullness of the lips, big eyes and high cheek bones are typical attributes of those glorious Black Africans, as is the case in most black people. Nice capture of this statue.

Youve nicely captured the yellows in the ambient lighting. the mouth is a bit well lit comparitively to other parts of the face tho - i wonder if a more even lighting would look better? I know thats probably the light source which you couldnt control.
Cheers,
