Darn, I wish it was just a bit better in focus because everything else about this photo is simply great. Your composition is flawless, the color is awesome and your lady makes for an interesting photo. Nice work, buy a better camera.

General: Nice symmetry.

Composition: Framing the image with the tree branch adds interest. The break in the branches matches the corner of the building.

Exposure: My guess is this was taken around midday. The lighting seems to be a bit flat and the building slightly overexposed though you still captured alot of detail at the base. A graduated ND filter might of helped to allow you to expose more for the leaves (to gain detail) without blowing out the sky and building. The framing would probably have been a bit more difficult then. If this could be done I think the image would have more contrast and therefore more impact.

Impact: The perspective chosen here gives the sense of height and therefore adds impact. I always like these types of shots especially when the building is also architectually interesting.

Good effort. Keep shooting.

Great framing! Suitable use of B&W too. Works for me :)

Nice office. Wish the sky were blue to set it off from the building more, but that's a minor point.

Maybe it's the shade of yellow or maybe it's the overall lighting, but this seems too bright despite the number of dark objects in it.

don't mind that that artist has his back to us, but wish the chauffeur wasn't.
