Needs perfect focus across the frame for this type of shot. Too much blur in corners.

the image is pretty well photographed - reasonably sharp, etc. but the subject is really not that interesting to me 4

Welcome to DPC - glad to have you on the site.

This is a pretty cool castle and holds a lot of potential. I agree with others - it seems a little bland. Most 'wow' like photos will have some drama - a foreboding sky, a steep and unusual perspective, or connection to a place in some way. The photo as taken has good color and seems reasonably sharp and the lighting is okay - but longer shadows (morning/evening) will help this a bunch.

Unlike what 'snake' said about having to enter challenges to get comments - entering 'side challenges' or uploading pictures and asking for feedback really can work well to improve your shots.

I would recommend making comments about other people's photos - what you like, what you don't - be constructive and others will return the favor...

Hi, welcome to DPChallenge. The best way to find out if a shot is good is to enter it into a contest. Most people around arn't going to give you much input untill you get more active in the site. I think you should have posted this one in the current shapes challange. Oh well too late now. Good luck. I would personally like the image but I would like it more with the landscape and people you cut out.
