I thought the repetition of yellows was interesting, with the statue looking in the direction of the girl walking down the stairs. What I still can't figure out is whether I should have focused on her instead, or even tried to have everything in focus. Thoughts?

My eyes go to the girl walking down the stairs so I think it would be better if she was the main foucus of your shot.

You're right there - you should focused on the girl and let the statues be the complimenting yellow blurs. Also, due to a busy background, it's really difficult to see and figure out those statues anyways.

Yes you should have focused on the girl because the yellow just blinded me

I think one general rule is if you have someone moving in the frame, it is better to position them so they are moving into the frame, versus out of it as you have.
