this is an interesting shot, that realy suffered because of it's poor resolution, i think.
i like your shadow, and the tones are lovely. the colours are gorgeous and very effective. however, i think the composition could be greatly improved. cropping the image so the door with sahdow and home sweet home sign are the only subjects would help; it's a little busy and messy.
of course, cropping it would run you afoul of futher reducing the resolution. so, the only thing i can say there is - shoot at the highest resolution possible on your camera (which is pretty damned high,, i jsut checked), or if it's texture you were going for, make it more obvious. with a sparser composition, it would have looke d a little less like poor resolution, it isn't. does that make any sense?
so - a good start to an image, with a few nice features. keep shooting - practice can make pretty damned good - if not perfect (perfection is boring, right?).
Luminescent Gold! That's some fine Gold there! :)
However, maybe a camera crop (i.e. second tighter shot) above & below the wall hanging while losing the door & keeping the darker area & golden highlights in higher resolution would most likely have helped your scores. (Just a little friendly advice learned through the harsh reality of my own low scores earned at DPC.)
