Wonderful concept, Mo -- it is hard to know if we are looking at a statue or a person here. And therein lies the mystery of the image. The dropping pony tail echoes the curves of both the plants and the arches, too. The only problem is the bright merger of the window or door that emerges from the nose and runs down to the shoulder. Learn to see such mergers before you shoot, Mo. You could shifted the camera just a touch to the left and blocked out that window or doorway entirely with the face, making the profile stand out cleanly against the orange wall, and greatly enhancing the meaning of the picture. It is a small detail here, yet it is critical one. (You will also want to resize the image properly for the web. It is much too large to see without much scrolling. Probably an oversight.)
