Is this for the Eagles songs challenge? Just kidding. I like the details in this photo. Very sharp and crisp lines.

Nice layout. You got the essence of the place, good composition. the only improvement would be to brighten the color a little.

This is a great shot all round with some good colours as well. It does have an HDRish feel to it, which usually makes me dislike a photo on first sight, but I think you have handled it well here, apart from the clouds to the top right which I feel are a little overdone and harsh compared to the soft tones of the rest of the image.

I would also like to see a wide angle shot which brings in that wall to the left as well some more, but as it stands I really like this one. 7, and that's only because of the clouds or I would have scored it higher.
