Greetings from the Critique Club

Lovely colors in this image. YOu may have started out with washed out colors, but by the time you finished with this image, those colors were just fine.

Your composition works well, and if you didn't correct for perspective, your lens worked for you. I see little distortion and everything looks "normal" (whatever that means).

In other words, I'll just say, congratulations on your excellent score for this piece and keep up the good work.

I think I'd like a crop on either the stairs or either the main entrance (with ornaments). Nice image though! -7-

I like the rich tones, and the border enhances it very nicely. Excellent example of symmetry.

Really nice shot; I like the choice of subject, and the perspective/composition are dead on. I wish the light was a little more flattering; some sunlight would really give this a little extra impact.
