There are many good elements in this shot - beautiful colour and texture of the old stone wall; vivid blue of the doors nicely contrasts with the yellow-brown bacground, and the flower post and little dog at the bottom of the stairs add to that magical feeling of calm, warm and lazy afternoon.
However, I'm giving only 1 point, because of 2 reasons:
1. I'd make a tighter crop and remove a bit from the top and the right, at least until the edge of the darker building. I think those random buildings on the far right divert attention, which should be focused on the foreground buildings;
2. the photo lacks quality a bit. Seems that the original image was out of focus, so sharpening has made colours look muddy, while still leaving the photo unsharp.
Still, as I said, the photo has the feeling :)
best,
Kristine

Hello Armando, a good POV.
The buildings look in need of some 'tender loving care', they are full of character.I like the textures, and the blue door really adds to the picture.
TFS, regards Jean.
