This is simply stunning, VERY well done!!!

Where was it taken?

1.  If you shot it raw, you should see if you can pull out any detail in the dark area.

2. The blue sky in the background is a bit distracting.   I would try a B&W conversion

3. In terms of composition, it's hard for the eye to know where to go.   The wall beyond the arch is very distracting

I like this one better that the HDR version. One thing else to try..... To intensify the sky

A. Try a graduated filter in lightroom or photoshop

B. During raw conversion. Play with blue saturation (increase it). And luminance (decrease it)

You really can see the HDR artifacts.

Did you shoot this raw? Did you try and do what you can within the raw conversion?

I find it over done.   The patch of sky was obviously touched up.

The greens are over done.

Less is more!

Did you use a filter or adjust the color in some way ?

Looks very ethereal!
