The image is extremely over exposed on the top in the clouds causing loss of detail throughout. This could have been a very great opportunity for some ominous clouds. The rest of the image is over saturated as well. There are some weird effects going on with the fire. I can see a white outer glow? The fire itself doesn't blend well with the image. You have sharpness of the shrine vs the blurry messy fire. Idk your level of expertise in photo manipulation, but this could have been better. This had a lot of potential. Photo manipulation requires tender love and care of the image. All the details matter because you'll never know when you will need it. Color grading/color correction requires delicacy. Over saturating/blowing colors out isn't the way to go.

Before I even begin to review it, could you at least post the resources used in creating this?
