When I was at the mission a tour bus rolled up and the tour guide asked if I would mind taking a photo of the entire group posing on the steps. Suddenly, all the tourists were asking me to take the same photo with their cameras. Before I knew it I had 33 camera lined up on the ground! When I finally finished these crazy people wanted to take photos of themselves posing with me. I'd say about 10 different people had their picture taken with "Jason, the nice camera guy." Fortunately, I made 9 dollars in tips, which I used to buy lunch. I have a lot of photos of the mission that I'm really happy with. This isn't my favorite but I thought it was the best for the challenge. Oh yeah, I've been experiencing my first jpeg artifacts with this image, especially after running it through neatimage, which I'm not too thrilled about.

Focus is soft towards the bottom of the image and the more colorful building areas look grainy. Great cropping (or composition) and it looks like you had wonderful weather for this shot.
This shot is well cropped and set up very well. The lighting and contrast leaves me a bit wanting though. The shadows on below the lower ledge and the upper lerft ledge is really noticable and hurts this shot a bit to me. Perhaps if you had gone black and white or duotone to play on those shadows? A 7, up from a 6
A lovely and interesting architectural shot, your composition is perfect for the lines and angles, and I just love the colors. The only "nitpick" I have is that I would like to have seen a little more lighting on the dentil molding to give the shot a little more depth.
A very clean and symmetrical image. By the looks of this building it is not that old. The edges of the building are very sharp and outine prominently against the background sky.
I would have to venture a guess you were kind enough to have left a comment on my image given your statement that yours was much the same as the one I produced. very well done! subtle colors nice perspective. I like the soft clouds in the sky as well.
