Interesting sculpture.
Two things.
1. Noise is very high. Was this under-exposed and then "re-covered" in processing? Because I see it was ISO 800 on a 5DMkII and I wouldnt expect that. Apply some noise reduction.
2. Never saw this sculpture, or the lighting on it, so I cant tell if the white balance is off.

Probably a lot to do with differing monitor calibrations, but I also see a lot of noise in the shadows, and would suggest darkening the bg a lot closer to black as well as reducing the noise in the shadowed areas of the statue. Good subject to capture, though!

Hmmm I think the noise might be artifacts from post when I dialed down the blue channel since there were a couple faded pieces of blue fabric in the background. I'll give it a better go tonight after work and do the background properly.

Thanks for the comments! Couldn't see it on my monitor but it hasn't been calibrated properly yet.
