Hi Colette,

Thanks for the feedback.
Somehow I missed this as being here.
This is a tough place to shoot due to the number of elements and "multiple sources of light". LOL
I do like your idea on the crop and hadn't thought about that.

The soft lighting here sets a nice mood. Also, the blend of colours gives a deserted feel to your image.

Brighter areas tend to draw more attention than darker ones and I think here the light green is competing with the pillars in the foreground. The pillars draw my attention since they are very prominent in the foreground, however the main lit areas keep drawing my attention away. Bringing out more detail in the foreground pillars might alleviate this.

Compositionally, I don't think the palm tree and the light behind add much. Cropping the image just to the left of the pillars next to the palm would balance the image better. Also, a slightly different angle, to make the front entrance more visible might also help with the balance of the image.

Keep shooting.

Colette

I was surprised that I liked this as much as I did, because it is a pretty straight forward shot. But the exposure is perfect, and the parrallel lines make it pleasing.
