thank you for your comments. i will really take note of the criticisms and try to improve my work next time.
i really should have moved closer to the sculpture to get a better shot, but i was worried of the guard watching me getting my feet on the grass. :) i have so limited options on moving left or right, because there are procession carts (covered with bright-colored plastic sheets) on both sides, a few meters from the sculpture. weren't those carts there, i could have gotten a better background, i.e. the ruin's balcony, which is a lot creepier.
this is my first entry to DPC. i'm still glad it got to this place. i still got a lot to learn hopefully with your help. :)
The main focus of the image is lost within the tange of the trees...I wonder if you could have moved farther around to the left for a better advantage point. Still a very good photo as is though.

Oh! I wish you could have moved to the left and eliminated thos distracting trees.
I think you might have been better getting in closer to reduce the ammount of background and to separate the figures from looking like a part of the tree.
IMHO the couple needs a bit more contrast from the tree behind it. It's hard to see where one ends and the other starts. But otherwise a really good (and creepy) picture.
