I've always been interested in Mesoamerican ruins and this is a great example. As for the composition I think that you've got good framing with the trees on both sides of the pyramids and the mountains above but you still have the subject dead center of the image. If you crop out some of the bottom field to bring the pyramid down to the lower third that might give you better composition. The other suggestion could have been to raise the angle of you camera so that you caught more of the sky in the picture of well to capture more clouds for the background, this would also have dropped your main subject into the lower third. Just some thoughts.

First, I love the photo and appreciate the image of a place I will probably never see in person.

The only thing that I would have done different would be to lower the camera a bit so that the top of the structure was about midway on the mountains behind. In this photo the top gets mixed with the quasi-horizon (the horizon if the mountains were not in the background).

I do like the idea of more clouds, however that would only be if the rest of the composition worked out better. Thanks again.
