I am pretty confident that this is not a very DPC friendly shot - lacking sunsets, pretty animals, flowers and children. But something in it continues to appeal to me so here it is. Perhaps as much as a 5.3? Some comments would be nice though!

Greetings from the Critique Club!

I liked this in voting - a pleasing array of architecture and texture with some good color thrown in. And it made me just a touch homesick for Europe. While some may see this as a "ruin" or "history", I'm quite sure it is simply someone's home, and they probably don't even notice the history of the place. My only nit is that from a composition standpoint, it is not perfectly centered, but it is not far enough off center to be well balanced. I'm wondering if a stronger angle or perhaps a dead-center comp might have been a bit stronger. But that's neither here nor there at this point. I suspect this brings back fond memories of a place visited and that alone is a great reason for a memorable photograph!

Interesting windows, shutters and building. I think it might be cropped a bit tight to give the viewer more for interest or punch.

Nice composition, great detail. I like architecture shots, especially ones with so much character.
