Default sanctuary of love

This is a shot from a private home in a town nearby. Please let me know what you think.

It's an interesting picture, but I think the statue in the foreground is a bit too much out of focus (at least in my eyes, on my monitor)...

Also, the composition seems too noisy, there's nothing that my eyes are drawn towards, no clear message...

I like the idea but as Geir said, there is something that distract the eye. May be the leaves on the left side. can you crop it out?

I see what you both mean, it is a little busy, but I was trying to get the point across that the place is filled with religious icons everywhere you look amongst the overgrown grass and regular stuff you would find in someone's yard (like the lawnmower). Maybe I'll go back for another shot and try a different composition. In the meantime if you follow the link in my other post you'll see some others from the same place that I think work a little better. Please let me know what you think.
