Louvre photo

[Remi M.]

There are allot of things wrong with it. It's to dark obiously. Turning up the exposure blows out the window. The composition is wrong. It's symetrical and centered. The statue (Nike of Samothrace) is cutoff. But something about it kept me going back to it.
Here is a try at working with it:

Please let me know what you think.
