Your picture is very much a holiday picture, I don't think the time or effort went into revealing the architecture or magic of place has gone into this image.

First: The lighting is not very complimentary to the scene, most of the rock face is in the shade, you would need to have a better ratio of light to shade to bring out the detail of the scene.

Second, the colour is a bit washed out, again time of day is against you here, if this is taken 4 hours before sunset the sun is still quite bright, judging by the shadows I think just after sunrise is the best time to photograph this place, the colours will be warmer and the shadows a bit long in the right direction to give the scene its rightful vibrancy.

Third, your composition is very flat, in part to the lighting. The cars take away from the setting, i would explore the area more, take tighter images with a wider angle lens. The trees in this images foreground are not in focus either which takes away from the rest. but i do see some water beyond, maybe there is a better position below.

That all seems pretty negative but I hope I am just helping you a bit more. Let me know what you think. I hope this is constructive for you.

Live here............all the time!
All is OK
Absolutely 100% right on all..............unfortunately I was up at dawn, then something happened which delayed me.
My idea was to take them as the sun rose.
Thank you
