my recent trip to Beijing, China.
This picture was taken in evening.. thought it would be nice to take this picture against the sun...
any comment?

The burn-out on the sun is too much for my taste - I also find the birds distracting in the upper right. Could also be cropped on the bottom edge.

Had the sun been behind the building it might have been better IMO.

Given the time of day and conditions (looks hazy) I think this is a very nice atmospheric shot. When traveling, I'm aiming for memories. If they happen to be great photos (technically) that's a bonus...sometimes you just can't be there for that perfect shot (traveling companion not an early riser/ready for dinner)!

I do agree that editing out the birds would make the image even better!
