nature

hopefully i can offer some constructive criticism. the most obvious issue is that the shot is overexposed,e.g., the sky is entirely blown out, as is the tops of the trees. secondly, the tomb leans slightly to the right...as well, the fact that the photo is not straight can be seen in the steps "dropping" slightly downward on the right side of the pic. the sides of the bottom steps are cut off. i believe the appearance would be much better if you could see the entirity of the steps. lastly, the proportions of the steps appear to be rather "fat". you may have used a standard print size...but it doesn't work for this shot. the fact that a larger portion of the steps on the left are not in the frame...plus the fact that the tree on the left is so large and tall, and that the tomb is ... to the left of center, pulls my eyes sharply to the left. this composition also results in to much blank/negative space to the upper right portion of the picture. the only thing in this space are the sparse, over-exposed tree limbs that are more of a distraction than anything.

i realize this may sound pretty negative...but there's just as much to be learned from shots that fail...as those that are successful...perhaps more! i'll try to do a little PS work on this one and attach it. one last thing. i haven't even checked to see if you left info on what type of equipment you're using. but if your camera is capable of shooting in RAW format, i'd by all means use it. you'll have much more control over issues such as incorrect exposures, etc. hope this helps!
