Wonderful color. I read your processing description. I would love to see the original and a few of the steps you made toward this very nice end. You have really brought life to this old ruin.
I like the color contrasts in the shot. Portions look a bit over-sharpened. Subject and composition are also good. What I don't like is the title - I don't think you needed the part in parenthesis.
