I wonder why? It seems to perfectly fit your narrative, whether one sees a face palm or weeping in it. It also serves the purpose visually, creating a sense of depth and a triangular composition.
Yeah I thought about that statue, Slobodan. I like it very much and have photographed it by itself a few times. It's very moving to see it in person. It actually faces the OKC bombing memorial and is the church's comment on the bombing so it doesn't really mean what it appeared to in the original image. At least in my mind, and for the purpose of this assignment, the church was broadly representing Christian life (not the church, per se) and the cross extending higher than the office building was to express which should be the higher priority (thus the use of "perspective"). So the statue weeping over the church, although certainly a poignant and valid commentary, was not the point this time.
I cloned out the head of the statue after re-framing to remove the rest of it.
