I messed up on this one. I should have used a pop of fill flash so the statue would have been better lit. Oh well, next time.

I like this the way it is. The building highlights the statue well.

Don't pi$$ me off, I am running out of room to store the bodies...

The only thing I don't like, is the bottom crop. You cut the statue's feet.

A small touch of fill would've been nice too, but I don't mind it this way. You can still see enough details.

Photographing San Francisco de Asis Mission Church from the "front" (or courtside direction) can be difficult without a very wide angle lens. The space is very tight and you have limited area before you back into a adobe wall. The Church inspired a painting by Georgia O'Keefe and photos from Ansel Adams and Paul Strand.
I think you did an excellent job capturing th essence of the location. Good job.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
