When using a wide angle lens (here a 24mmPCE), the best results are obtained when an subject is placed in the foreground. This increases the "depth" of the image. A comparison can be made between the photograph posted earlier today and this one. In this later image, I placed the back of a river boat (with its Chinese flag visible!) in the left corner. As a result, this photograph appears not as "flat" as the earlier one. I could unfortunately not arrange to place a boat in the foreground of the landscape shot! I kept it anyway as it shows the two guardian figures that are flanking the Buddha. The little people at the toe of the statue gives an idea of the scale of the monument.
