Beautiful, bud. Great subject and I like the mix of textures. Nice composition. Well done. (Nothing to suggest here, and no nits).

Looking at what's here, I would have tried walking to the left behind that arch to see if there was a shot toward the other structure on the right. Maybe we'll see that shot next?

Hello Stephen,

incredible shot is a great place. The composition is very nice, and the colours and the light are great. Well done!
