 I took this at the archaeological ruins at Xochicalco in Morelos, Mexico. I loved the contrast between the live and dead tree in this setting.

I love the big cloud in center sky but the half tree to the right is distracting...

I like your concept but the composition could be better. The tree on the right adds nothing to the image so if you had cropped and utilized more of the view behind the trees then I think it would have improved the image. Maybe you could have used the small stone wall as leading lines towards the tree or actually stood on it to get more of the ruins.

it is nice how the cloud takes the form of the trees.
