This is an excellent composition.
May I offer a suggestion?
Sometimes photographs of buildings and tall objects "look" as if they are falling backwards. Compare the vertical symmetry of the statues in the foreground. They seem to lean to the left.
Try a tilt shift lens. It corrects for the parallax of the lens' first element on an angle to that of the building.
Happy Shooting!

Your photograph nicely captures an architectural work of art.

nice picture of a wonderful place. Shift lens suggestion is valid but how many of us can afford such luxuries?

A tilt shift lens is more expensive than a lens of comfortable focal length. This is because the mechanism to bend the light path is unique. A photographer can rent this type of lens to become familiar with the mechanism. A cheaper alternative is available but not always effective. Having the camera on live view, raise the camera above one's head. Using the LCD screen as a guide, Tilt the camera and lens to correct for parallax. It doesn't always work. The tilt shift lens does allow for wide angle shots and is okay for macro. It's not great but can do model trains and the like very nicely.
After renting one for about three months, I convinced my wife to let me buy one. I keep it in my bag and use it mostly for architectural shots. You must use it on a tripod for best results.
The advantage here it is manual focus and manual f/stop. It can allow me to brackets shots much easier.

I too think the composition, and all the rest of it, are spot on. As far as the statues, look closely at the base and one can observe that the statues actually do lean outward a little. Nothing more needs to be done to this photo or technique.
Correcting this would be like straightening the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Good shooting.
