it's a wonderful shot. maybe it's a bit too dark (a little too much polarizer?). the dark part right and bottom could be just a tad lighter, then i think it would be perfect. in the meanwhile, i'd sure like to go there.

The image as a whole seems a little on the dark side.. but its not necessarily something that detracts from the iamge too much. The composition is very good. It's great to see all these amazing places i have never seen before.. there is so much to see in your country.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Thank you so much for sharing this photo with us. If not you we wouldn't probably even know about the exsistance of this exceptional temple. I like the way you have composed the scene but it would have more impact if it were brighter. The dark rock seems a bit monotonous and together with the greenery it constitutes over a half of the image.
