I like the lighting. I like the framing of the monument. It feels like it might be tiltes counter clockwise but that might be an illusion and is very slight. My main critique is that their is a lot of dead space at the bottom of the photo. A whole lot of black adding nothing to the image. I would crop it.

This is a beautiful image. Just a couple of minor things though. I agree witht he above post. There may be a slight tilt to the left. What I find more distracting is the trees overlapping the monument. It's so slight that it makes it even more noticeable for me. The dead space at the bottom, as stated above, is too much. You could lose most of it and improve the image. I really like the lighting and mood that you have going here. You really get a feel for the majesty of the monument. Very nice work.
