First of all, I think this is a great picture. I really enjoyed it and the colours just feel *so* good. Your picture makes me feel happy.
The trees in the foreground are fantastic! You have a strong focus on the pagoda (?no idea if that is the correct term?) Focus pulls out in the foreground and the background. Did you paint this from a photograph, or did you decide to just build that into the picture as you went along? Either way, it makes an interesting picture.
There are some things that could possibly be improved. There's a small degree of "wonkiness" around a lot of the buildings, and in particular the pagoda "tiers" appear to me to be leaning left side down with respect to the supporting column. (It may be that they actually do that, but to my eyes it appears a little off.) Many of the buildings also appear to be leaning very slightly to the left. I'm not at all sure that detracts fromth evalue of the picture.
The biggest thing you could improve, as far as I can see, is the far background, in particular the top right of the picture. The darker colours are a little dark and a little strong to carry the feeling of distant haze. They appear further in the foreground than the lower buildings in front of them. On the left hand side, you have some lower buildings in the background which are excellent, and convey general shape without having strong insistent lines.
I actually love it, and I'm gonna fave it. I hope you can find something useful from this, and I hope I haven't offended in any way.
