what an interesting sculpture, lovely blue sky, bear in mind I am just a beginner so please take what I say next with a grain of salt, but I find the bird with the blur a little bit distracting and I personally would consider cropping it out
I agree with JJ on cropping the bird out. The statue/waterfall is very interesting. It may have been better in landscape rather than portrait format. It is always difficult to make comments like this without sounding critical. I find constructive criticism helpful.

@Barbara: Barbara, JJ: Thanks for your comments! I would have cut out the bird myself! But I thought, it presented a nice story to have a bird fly away, while a bird lay dead in the sculpture!
I went there this summer and several other times, but i never noticed this statue. Strange how everybody can see this small world with his own eyes from a different point of view. in my point of view, (one more time), the flying bird gives a meaning to the picture, it tells the story. Keep it, please

@Thierry Masson: Thanks Thierry! I love this picture just because of the contrast between the bird fying away and dying bird in the sculpture!
