Shanti Stupa - Symbol of Peace. C&C Welcome

[fotugraphy]

Hi, going forward on my photography venture I stopped and clicked another shot. Can you please review it and let me know what exactly is missing for it to make it much better?

It is an image of Shanti Stupa, New Delhi, A Buddhist white-domed stupa. I have clicked this image at the time of sunset and really like the golden light on it and specially between the outer wall (Right one). I wanted to capture the brown structure on the back but couldnt got it in frame because of focal length limitation (clicked at 11mm) and there was no space to go on right and if i would have gone more towards the structure then i was loosing statue.

With the post processing i have added few colors, boosted existing colors and added contrast in the image.

Please provide your views and suggestion with composition and processing.

Thank You

PS : Please click on the image for lightbox screen view (Highly recommended).

Looks good to me, Raj. Possibly the brighter parts of the cloud are a fraction over exposed; but nothing to worry about.

There is a small fairly long dark mark on the walking surface which is a fraction distracting (not the main shadow area). So I would consider cloning it out if possible. But once again not a serious problem.

Nice photo, Raj. Good use on leading lines to draw the viewer into your photo. And shot at the right time of day as well.

Thanks a lot for your kind review I also found that mark as distraction but i watched careafully, it was the reflection of the left way. Shall i enhance the reflection or remove the dark mark? Please suggest.

It looks good to me Raj. If you do go back for a reshoot, consider moving slightly to the right to avoid cutting off the brown ladder shaped device at the far end of the walkway and at the same time avoid the dark vertical line in the top left corner.

An excellent job of positioning the front edge of the walkway exactly in the corners of the scene. It really helps make the walkway inviting.

Well composed, Raj, I like the way you have arranged the tiers of the structure in the frame. You have a good eye.

Thanks a lot for your valuable review. I was aware of the structure in the center and i mentioned in the description but the top left line i was not aware. Thanks a lot for pointing it out. I will surely reshoot it and fix the issues as suggested.
