I gave this a 7 when I voted. I like it, but I would say there is too much negative space. If you were able to crop tighter so that the temple took up say half the picture vertically and 2/3rds horizontally, I think it would be stronger. We would be able to see more detail in the building and I was intrigued by the colors which you could see. It mad me curious as to what was going on there. The lone lamplight may be a distractor and were it advanced, I'd be tempted to clone it out.

The subject takes up a brilliant portion of the picture. It is a truelly creative composition when the eyes is drawn to such an interesting building as this one. 9

there is not enough detail. You should have used a longer exposure

i lke this photo.... but! the black is too much if you filled your frame up to your subject you would be just fine.... because its a little distracting but apart from that your overall creativity of art is just fine

The ghosty feeling is strong in this image and I like the solitude as well.
