Was visiting an old monument and noticed them...let me know if you liked the picture. Critiques and suggestions are welcome.

I think the composition is absolutely amazing. The verticals being vertical and parallel, the old building and the beautiful dresses of the women.
The only thing I would do is make the shadows a little darker (by adding "contrast" or by using curves).

I have always had trouble with a shot like this. Bright outside background with subject in foreground. Did you use fill flash to expose both properly?

I agree, composition is amazing, and would work well in B+W or desaturated green and orange(everything but the cloths) Maybe bring yellow/red/AQUA luminence up a bit and overall exposure down.

Thank you all for liking and the comments, will post b+w, didn't attempt as I thought colors playing role here (both in contrast and punch) but will try.
