Hi Doug,
Is Bresson's instruction of aligning the head, the eye and the heart implemented as far as one can go? It seems that the view does not put the Buddha sufficiently in prison, so to speak, behind the ropes as there is no distance from it to get a feeling of the isolation of the great Buddha. On the other hand, you have taken the opposite approach and closed in to find something more personal, imposing or even geometric to get your unique view.
So, could I press you to look at this picture again and it's siblings and ask of it/them what else might be hidden to be brought out. It's not always the obvious what exactly is powering the splendor that one feels in the presence of a presence of something or someone special. So, if I'm not being too impossible, might you look at this again.

Asher: I had wanted, actually, to lie down on the floor and shoot up. Unfortunately the museum guard and several ultra proper old ladies inhibited the impulse.
In retrospect, it's just not a very interesting photo.
