		| | Greetings from the Critique Club! 
 I liked this in voting - a pleasing array of architecture and texture with some good color thrown in.  And it made me just a touch homesick for Europe.  While some may see this as a "ruin" or "history", I'm quite sure it is simply someone's home, and they probably don't even notice the history of the place.  My only nit is that from a composition standpoint, it is not perfectly centered, but it is not far enough off center to be well balanced.  I'm wondering if a stronger angle or perhaps a dead-center comp might have been a bit stronger.  But that's neither here nor there at this point.  I suspect this brings back fond memories of a place visited and that alone is a great reason for a memorable photograph!

		| | Interesting windows, shutters and building. I think it might be cropped a bit tight to give the viewer more for interest or punch. |
