Compositionally, I like the shot and think it has a balanced, stable feeling to it. The perspective of the building makes it have a surreal feeling to it, and that just kind of adds to the feeling of the shot, I think. To see a library that small, and you expect that it should be much larger, so it all seems a bit unreal. The only thing I would suggest is to move your model to the other side of the door frame. That would get her out of the almost exact center of the shot.

Technically, I like the colors, focus, and exposure. The sky is a bit "too much" and is almost too bright to feel real, but it is still pretty.

Overall, it is an interesting shot, and I suspect that it wasn't quite "streety" enough for most people.

Feel free to contact me if I need to further explain or clarify anything.

that is some slimy looking spinach -- reminds me of my elementary school's "feast." Good color and clarity.

compositionally, you have a very strong picture here. It is "anchored" in the front, bottom third, and this gives the eyes some where to rest when initially viewing the picture. The stems sticking up, then lead the eyes up into the frame.

Technically, the focus is razor sharp on the water and that is good because if they were the least bit off, it would really be noticeable. The shallow dof is good to emphasize the clarity of the front fruit. The exposure and the colors are nice as well.

Overall, you have an excellent shot. While I can't really offer you any advice on how to improve it, I do hope that telling what works in it helps in some way. Please feel free to contact me if i need to further clarify or explain anything.

too funny;. Maybe a tighter crop at the bottom and not so tight at the left would help push the attention to the colors. I agree with talj, great sense of humor. thanks for making me smile!!
