this is a good image, however i find it a little too noisy, maybe focusing closer in would have helped 4

FIRST IMPRESSION: Good idea for the challenge. The separation between shots is not as clear as it could be, though.

CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.

COMPOSITION: As mentioned a more distinct separation between the shots would be helpful here. Perhaps you could have picked up the maroon and gold from the 9632 sign for frame colors. Also, the 2nd and 3rd shots are a little too tight for my taste, in contrast to the first shot which is obvious, the other two leave me wondering what I am looking at.

TECHNICAL: Exposure seems slighly hot, especially on the middle shot.

CONCLUSION: A good idea, better in my opinion if you'd showed us more in the 2nd and 3rd shots and separated the images better.

Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges!

Pretty scene. This is a very nice angle and subject for a postcard shot, but the glare on the roof is so very harsh. This might have been a bit better at a different time of day. 7 Rob the Swash

It is a little on the dark side which for a postcard is not always so advantageous. The composition is good using the natural framing. However I would have gone a few steps higher to include more of the building into your shot.

the amazing glare/brightness through and off the shrine make it hard to notice any of the other details of the photograph, including the loverly staircase.

I love the perspective and the idea, but the blown-out spot in the center is distracting. It must have been just that time of day...
