I'd crop out the bottom step because it's creating the illusion of a tilt. The red kiosks provide a nice accent of artificial colour to the natural scene. Otherwise, I'm not feeling much strength in this image.

Thanks Jaemie. Images in open shade like this are tough. White balance is an issue, also, light isn't super dynamic.

what's the story of this place? Who maintains it? Very interesting!

Here's the website. Should answer most questions. It's a top attraction in Oregon, so the wife and I checked it out! The National Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother, The Grotto | Portland, Oregon

Ah, so it is a religious shrine as I thought, interesting. When I travel I love to find places like this.
