In this image everything is degraded. The stairs degrade in size as they move away from the camera like the columns. The sky degrades in luminosity. The woman is almost in the zone of maximum luminosity which makes her stand out. The shadows of the diagonal columns direct us to the woman. The only lack that I see the photo is that I think that you have left over the last two columns on the left. I think it would improve with trimming on both sides.

It's a good shot, but I'm going to suggest several changes to try to improve it. I would give a little contrast and lighten the area of the left window because it is supposed to be where the tones are lighter and here they are very dark, I try to make a constructive criticism.

You have to see the quality that compact cameras give today. This photographer is a brave put his tripod and look what he could do. I take my hat off before this photo. Very well done. With a camera that fits in your pocket. Congratulations.

I have had to leave many images with disqualified potential, due to excessive processing, high burned out lights and too much boxing of the subject. This photo does not have any of those shortcomings, well maybe high lights burned near the left tower (it would have to be examined on paper) but they do not bother. The girl gives a oneiric look to the photo and the inclusion of the girl in the frame is a success because it gives us the scale of the building in ruins. Protagoras was right "Man is the measure of all things." The only one but the triangle on the floor in the right corner distracts a bit. Congratulations.
