Well, Gal, you'll probably at least have company of John Milton. And I have always thought that the most interesting people are not in paradise, but in hell ;-).
Funny perspective with that little guy looking up to those historical 'heroes'. Although Calvin caused a 'few' problems with people who were raised in his believe.

I see that some of your last efforts were taking us to see your town through this little boy's eyes : perhaps the other Calvin in this shot. There are two Calvins, the one from Calvin & Hobbesis not the severe bearded one but the small guy that takes us through different situations, Hobbes's the bigger striped folk. He might be the one that also shot the image ;)...

Nicely done, I just don't mind cropping the stone Calvin's head or not, it's undeserved nitpicking as I view it, since the important thing is the relationship between the statues and the boy, I look at it as the statue doesn't fit into the frame not the reverse situation -too bad for him he was so stiff minded alive and stiff bodied when carved- ...
Statues are carved but their time has passed (fortunately), the boy will simply take a look, wonder who those funny dressed people are, and go mind his own future, strolling with Hobbes aside...

AAAAHHHH! Esses degenerados que atentaram contra a igreja Católica-Apostólica-Romana!!!! ;-)

Muito bom duotone com um bem cuidado contraste que fazem os volumes e texturas sobressair.

Gosto em particular de como a roupa escura do miudo o faz sobressair do resto da imagem (o brazão também ajuda).

Quanto à composição penso que preferia ver a cabecita do senhor completa... Ou em alternativa talvez um crop mais radical. Por exemplo cropando pelo pescoço. Poderia criar uma grande tensão na imagem já que se quereria ver os rostos que o miudo observa.

this picture made me smile (and the title), and I wonder what the kid was thinking in front of these statues. I see that you often made a photo from different point of view, and the kid there really made this photo remarkable (though the calvin's head cropped :D). very inspiring
