Composition-Content
There is something that makes this picture stand out in the crowd, the simplicity, the colours? It is a lovely soft picture, which maybe makes us wish to slow down a bit and spend time strolling around these streets. I think that your composition is perfect, I like the angle that you took this from, which helps you focus on the door on the left and then also takes you into the picture to the door on the right. There is enough detail in the picture to hold the viewers eye, the plant pots, the yellow steps, the name, but overall I think that the simplicity of the composition captivates the viewer.
Background
Well, the background here is the picture, all I can say is that the colour is fantastic! I do like the idea of a cat sitting in the foreground, to add another dimension to the shot, but I don't think that the picture suffers without it.
Technical
Lighting is great here, lovely and soft with no shadows, which suits the building completely. Focusing, sharpness and DOF are all great.
My Opinion
Love it! I like the fact that you didn't try to change the natural beauty of this scene. Lovely picture. Good Luck in the next challenge

This is fun!

Love the action depicted in this shot, more by the expression on her face and the implied motion. Cute girl. I would have liked to see her left arm, right side of the photo completely in the photo. Still a great shot! 8

Good photo, cool subjects. :)
Would be interesting to see what it looks like at a more sideways angle, could improve the composition somewhat and create a more even lighting, it is pretty strong from the right at the moment, but the baby's leg area is well exposed.
Perhaps some more room in the fron't some space to step into, crop is tight.
