| your riddle crit matt! 
 this is an interesting shot, that realy suffered because of it's poor resolution, i think.
 
 i like your shadow, and the tones are lovely.  the colours are gorgeous and very effective.  however, i think the composition could be greatly improved.  cropping the image so the door with sahdow and home sweet home sign are the only subjects would help; it's a little busy and messy.
 
 of course, cropping it would run you afoul of futher reducing the resolution. so, the only thing i can say there is - shoot at the highest resolution possible on your camera (which is pretty damned high,, i jsut checked), or if it's texture you were going for, make it more obvious.  with a sparser composition, it would have looke d a little less like poor resolution, it isn't.  does that make any sense?
 
 so - a good start to an image, with a few nice features.  keep shooting - practice can make pretty damned good - if not perfect (perfection is boring, right?).
