Like this - like the compositional strength of that diagonal, and the geometry of the whole thing. given the challenge, I would have liked the green to be stronger in the trees, in my experience of travel guides they like bright stuff; and even beyond that, I rather think some colour in there - more colour rather - would balance the detail in the rest of the shot nicely.
