This is lovely and fits the theme in an ironic sort of way. As it is now, the statues are slightly out of focus. It's a small distraction for me. Perhaps if the background and the statues can be blurred out (just move closer and zoom closer) and just leave a hint of the statues to suggest the woman is "alone but not alone"...or to have both the woman and the statues completely in focus (go to f/8 or 11 or step back).

Nice message and the composition is just right. I'm not sure if the statues compete with the woman's head or actually makes one whole unit as a focal point. Neither would be as important without the other. I'd prefer the colors to be less intense. Veronica

This one shows you are thinking of the challenge topic, but your title says "not alone". I see a few blown highlights, perhaps on purpose. Less exposure should have allowed the subject to be exposed and less of the blown bright spots.
