how can I improve the picture

I like because the statue is focused but people is blurred. What do you think about it?

f:2.8 will have a very shallow depth of field, 1/8s will allow significant motion blur, and that focal length is fully zoomed on that camera which also limits depth of field, so you have all three causes of the foreground being blurry. With the lighting conditions you're very limited to usable shutter speeds and apertures at that ISO, and I have no idea how that camera behaves with higher ISOs.

Thanks for your kind comment. I will take into account for future. Also, I will test higher ISOs.

I think that effect works really well. The sharp statue against the blurred people gives the image a nice sense of movement while making the statue feel almost timeless. The slow 1/8s shutter is doing most of the work here, and I like that you kept the statue as the clear point of focus. It feels much more intentional than simply photographing the monument straight on.

These are challenging lighting conditions. I agree with the above that having only the statue in focus and the rest a bit blurred is pleasing however if you look at the image below I would say the building behind the statue is what is in focus. In this type of scenario I would use a single focus point to ensure I'm on the subject that I want.

Well, you haven't actually said what you want to improve. So not sure how we can help.

Yes, there are focus and motion blur here, but sometimes that is exactly what it is intended to be.

If your intention was sharp focus, etc. then you have been given sound advise.

Bruno, it's your image, so you decide. And I like it. I like this technique.
If it were my image, I'd slow down the shutter speed a bit more, to get more blur. Keep the background sharp, but blurry the people.
Play around with the shutter speed a bit. If people are moving at different speeds, that would add drama, as they would blur more or less depending on how fast they are moving.
Flash could help too. Look up rear sync. Google it. The people would be sharp,but a trail of blurry would be behind them.... Like ghosts.
Good luck!
