Hello! You have requested a comment from the critique club:

First Impression/Opinion: there is a lot going on here. my eyes are kind of drawn all over the place. The lens flare is also not helping you in this image. I think if you were able to zoom in on just the two main statues it would have improved your image drastically.

Composition: A tighter crop would have helped draw the viewers eyes to the main subjects (statues). i think maybe even a horizontal shot may have helped also to draw the attention right where is should be, because i find myself looking at the lower half of the shot which has nothing really visually appealing.

Post Processing: If it were my image i would have added a lot more emphasis on the sky! those clouds have a lot of potential to be breathtaking! A black and white version of this may have been interesting to see as well.

Challenge Criteria: fits the challenge.

My Vote: I gave this image a 6 during voting

Good luck on your future challenges!

very flat (no contrast), the composition is a bit weak

Image meets challenge but washed out. Try place your hand or a newspaper, hat, something over the lens to reduce flare.
