Hello from the Critique Club
My first impression of this shot is that it doesn't stand out from the crowd. Although the building itself does represent a unique architecture, there are a few elements in this photo that really brought it down.
First off, I think the composition of this shot is not very flattering. The trees, light post, and small building in the foreground all are terribly distracting from the subject. They give this photo a cluttered feeling that steals the all important POP factor. This perspective is what anyone walking or driving by this building would see, and because of that, makes this shot seem ordinary. If there were a building facing this one, it would have been worth the effort to try and take the picture from on top of that building. This would have brought the viewer to a new perspective that would have been out of the ordinary and helped bring this shot more interest.
The lighting is also a little harsh. Adjusting the brightness down a bit would help a lot. I very much like the blue and red of the building against the blue sky, but the white facade seems almost over exposed The white with the sharp shadows grab my attention and and keep pulling me away from the more pleasing blue and red.
I think to improve this shot I would try two things. A different perspective, and shooting at a different time of day. How does this building look at night, or maybe on a partly cloudy day?
Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions!

| This building definitely has potential for some interesting images, but from this distance it is a bit overwhelming in color and components. Some portions seem overly sharp while others seem too soft in focus. 5 |

| This photo brings out the brilliant lines and colors of the building. I think it would have been stronger if the disttracting building at the bottom had bee cropped out. |
