I like the lighting toward the top of the photo. Maybe you could pick a different perspective and include more of it. Maybe you can even have it highlighting something or someone. Also, the lens flare on the left is distracting. One way of preventing that is to shade the lens with your hand, so that light isn't hitting the lens directly.

only complaint with this photo is the lens flare seems out of place, and distracts from the feeling of the photo.

Strange blue light on the left. Other than that quite good. No real interest in it for me and possibly an awkward crop at the top. 6

First of all, this photo is very busy there is all kinds of things going on and to much completion with the main subject. I think you could have cropped from the left of the photo and removed some of the clutter and also this would taken her off center. The colors are ok, but maybe black and white here. I tried this and the green channel seem to make it pop a bit.
Also I would have cloned out the reflection on her face. You might have tried a vignette this would have put more on your subject. These are just ideals, I tried several ways but it was to much Photoshop for me. I did like the repeating lines in the archways. I really have to agree with most of the commenters on this one. I try not to sound harsh that is not the way I am. Also you need to keep your file size close to the 150kb limit, so you don't loose any more image quality. Let me just show a quick redo on your shot and see if you like it any better. Please let me know if you don't want my version of your image online, and I'll take it down.

You have yourself a wonderful day and good luck in furture challenges.
