There is a saying that if your UWA pictures suck, you are not close enough.

I think that is true, because the examples you showed did not do the drama trick to me. It looked more like 'I want to include the whole temple indide my frame from where Iam standing now'. The images can use a bit of keystoning too.

Even though I am not an UWA shooter myself (I have the 14 as my widest lens), I do think your images could see improvement by going even wider (e.g. 8 mm), and/or stepping in closer, singling out one detail to exaggerate it even further. The latter you can even do with your current 14mm.

I think this will unclutter your photos and make stronger compositions. I mean this as some genuine feedback to help you.

What are your thoughts?
