Nice work, Sea Monkey! A very good photograph, if I may say so myself. In terms of composition, some very interesting aspects.

Color is nice; a contrast of light blue hues and less intense oranges. We are in the digital age dude, I might suggest tweaking the color contrast a bit on photoshop, particularly the bits that are silhouetted. Maybe just a few intense orange highlights on the edges rather than a big space of a dull brown.

One of the very first things I noticed of this photograph is the negative space; the sky. You've chosen well to have the sky be very intense in color. But then I noticed that if you flip the photograph 180 degrees, the positive and negative space are nearly identical. Perhaps you intended this balance, but anyway it's visually beautiful.

I notice also your relatively thick borders... is this your style? For me, I tend to use slimmer borders. They are, after all, borders. Also the camera you used, the Nikon E5400... I took the liberty of looking into it a bit, research if you will, and it seems to be a very versatile little thing. One who has the ability to maximize its potential would have a very deadly weapon in their hands...

Overall, again nicely done! Simple, yet grand and powerful.

interesting photograph but i think you should have focused on the obelisk instead of the sky, the sun "ate" the obelisk in this, when there is a lot of sun you should focus on a darker area, in this case you could have focused on the base of the obelisk or in the middle of it and then composed, try it with your future projects its worth the time!

Very nice angle, the position of the light in the picture suits really good to it. Great shot =)
