Anyone can help to critique on this picture.

The exposure of the image seems ok but the composition can be improved. The subject of the image is the buddha i presume? If so, the DOF is too wide, not blurring the background sufficiently to provide seperation. Perhaps you would want to show more of the buddha to add more "gold" colour to your image, i think it will help to enhance the royal feel that you were trying to portray.

Thanks Override2Zion, will keep a watch out on your suggestion. will try to improve on the next trip there again.

the photo actually have a very nice texture and colours and having a swallow dof will take away more from the photo than helping it.

What you can do is experiment more on the angles and try to find harmony and geometry in the photo.

It is in my opinion this is quite a decent photo. Just a little bit more for impact.
