    Hi Bloveless,

    I'm not sure what you were trying to achieve with this one but it's not really working for me. Here's why;

    - The image is not level
    - the crop on the right window is too tight
    - the flowers are a distraction
    - there is no real focal point IMO

    For a shot like this I'm 'guessing' you took it because of the lines and shapes. If so, you really had to make them stand out and I'm afraid with the distractions mentioned, it's not working.

    I think this shot would have been more successful as a vertical shot of just the door and going just until the flowers on the right side.

    Keep on practicing though - that's how we learn

    Hope that helps
    Marko
