Greetings from the Critique Club!
This image has nice lighting on it, but says snapshot to me, and it seems many others felt the same way. It's always a loaded situation, entering photos of existing artwork; it's generally discouraged, as first of all the artwork is not yours, and you can't rely on voters to know who Gaudi is or be familiar with his style. I suspect many see only sculptures and not the human forms; they are looking for humans with a pulse.
On a technical basis there appear to be sharpening halos around the sculpture. The POV and composition are uninspired; a tighter crop and some people in the shot would have helped a lot.
I've seen your portfolio and know you can produce much stronger images, so I do hope you take this critique as useful and continue to enter challenges.
Feel free to PM me

Thanks Susan
I was surprised at the low scores for this one... and I have had lots of low scores before!!! I can see what you are saying and can't really argue with you. It probably is a snapshot but I liked it but maybe that's because I had been totally immersed in Gaudi and Barcelona that week.
Not sure what you meant by the sharpening halos around the heads though.
