First Impressions: "Oooohhh!!!"
Whoa, this is going to be fun! Okay, first off the intricate design work of this structure is perfect for architectural photography, and without even looking at the stats, I can tell this is from the "Constructed By Man" challenge. Composition-wise, this is perfect, the two pillars in front just make the image spectacular and the detail on the could be brought out to perfection. Those pillars are icing on the cake, so they should be ASAP (as sharp as possible). My first regret is that the scaffolding takes you out of the pictures mood, and until I look at that, your photo does a good job communicating that mood. I really wish the photo was a tad darker to bring out the contrast on the whole shrine, and I REALLY wish that you could see the sky. The sky is blown out, so a higher aperture and slower shutter speed would possibly (depending on your lighting situation) help you correct the overexposure in the sky. Had this been a night shot you could do soem long exposure work and REALLY make the photo POP!
This could have gotten a 7 from me if you would just bring out some more contrast, and give me some sky man! You did really well without a background, something that isn't very easy to do. Congradz!
