I am an extreme novice and am jsut trying to learn. Any suggestions

are welcome please.

I would've just gone down on my knees (or even belly; yes I've done that in public :)) and shot from a lower angle, to get in more of the path leading to the steps, and to get rid of the boring white sky.

Just keep shooting.
