Composition - Wonderful old building with some nice trees in front. I really like the roof with the colorful tiles. The flag is a nice touch as well. The perspective is pretty good but I'm wondering why the whole building isn't in the picture. Nothing bad about the composition, but there really isn't anything to grab me either.
Photography - In a word, overexposed. This photo is really blinding. This situation, with the building being white, is similar to shooting in snow. I think that a lot of the reason for the lower score is that the building becomes flat white as does the top of the columns above it. Without exif data, it's hard to tell what could've been changed to make this shot better.
Processing - It's hard to correct a very overexposed (or underexposed) photo with PS or equivalent. There might've been a way to tone it down a little so that it wasn't quite so bright.
Overall - This isn't a bad photo, but not the kind that does well on DPC. It looks a lot like a tourist brochure cover actually, which isn't a bad thing. The composition of this photo doesn't really lend itself to being a real contender. It just doesn't have the WOW factor. The exposure though is the sticking point for this pic. If it was done intentionally, then I can't say much. If it wasn't, maybe making the camera adjust to ultra-bright, then holding it and taking the picture with that exposure in mind would have helped the picture and ultimately your score. - Inspzil
What a wonderful inspiration for all those folks in the frozen northlands. Maybe a bit overboosted, but still appealing. Compliments on your border restraint. JEM
Gosh, it looks WARM there! (brrrr) I love the roof, very, very colorful. I don't know what to suggest, but the white walls overpower the rest of this shot just a little too much (IMO). I like the mini-palm trees, cute! 7 Swash
challenge met. high-key works here. i love the colorful roof tiles and the blue sky. the composition is ok, too, nothing overwhelming, but then again, i don't know how i would've changed it, either. i do like the inclusing of the trees.
Nice clear shot, almost too bright for me. I like the arched windows and doorway, and would have loved to have seen a shot of them without the distraction of the trees.
