Strange Circle on top of Palace

[ccting]

D5100, 18-55mm, Shutter Speed = 1/500, f=6.3, 18mm, Manual, without tripod.

The building on top of the hill is the Palace. The extreme weather which is extreme red bright when sunrise has gathered thick dark cloud on the sky, and gathered around the palace.

Question: Did I take a good picture describing the above scenario?

You need to read the critique forum rule. You are only suppose to post ONE (1) photo for critique a day. ONE.

You've posted 3 today so far that I can see.

And to asnwer your question about capturing whatever, the answer is no.

I like the way you have captured the cloud ring but I wouldn't know there was a palace there if you hadn't mentioned it. I see a little tree like building sticking out but wouldn't know what it was. I also don't like the bar(road railing?) that runs unevenly along the bottom of the picture. Perhaps it would have looked better if you had shot it just before the sun set so there was more detail in the dark area.

I shot during morning, when I was on the way to my office. The sun was on the opposite one, and you can't see the extreme bright redness on the sky on far horizon, and most if it blocked by building. I can't find anywhere to capture the extreme..

The palace is too far away and the maximum zoom (55mm) i have and the circle was so huge that, i can't zoom at the palace.

I can't wait for sunset (after 12 hours), the shape of the cloud may disappear ;D

I personally dislike this picture, particulary the orientation. It should be vertical and not horizontal since it focused at the cloud. I have the vertical shooting, and will post tomorrow..
