Is that a Dovecote? I love the building and a really nice composition that invites me to look around with interest...

I think the exposure is spot on with really nice tones but the only thing that niggles me is the distortion... or is it leaning?

Bear in mind I am really trying to hone my skills at critique at the moment mainly so I can improve my own techniques so I might not give the same answer as the majority here, which is what really matters!

great shot with tons of detail! nice job and if i had to nitpic, id brighten up those pillar things at the bottom to get it a little more separation from the building and that bush in the bottom right is too black. something has to be done with it too cuz it just draws my eyes.

Thanks for the comments. I lightened up the bottom area a little. Let me know if you think this helps.

really nice. I'll work on mine some more. Thanks!

One of the first things I noticed in the original was that it wasn't very sharp. howzitboy's edit is sharper and, to my mind, better for it.

i edited it to get the texture and shadows to come out. i also tried (horribly) to burn in the left side of the building to get some more depth out of it.

Ok, one more time...

much better! i wish they were next to each other so could compare them closer. looks great just make sky a bit darker to balance it out and print em up!!
