Like I said in the comment during voting. First thing is the car takes a lot away from this image. Now that I have looked at it a little longer I would say it would be better if you would have gotten in a little closer to show the detail in the stone and the iron gates. Being this far away leaves my eye wandering all over for something to fixate on. Also getting closer would get rid of the shadows from the trees that are on the road. I find the shadows almost as distracting as the car. As far as color goes you have a nice blue sky and some good red tones in the leaves around the stone. The red is hurt by the shadowing on the right. It is in good focus. The photo is a bit too small. You can submit up to 640 pixels or 150kb and you should utilize every bit of that. Read the tutorial on "Using Photoshop to Prepare Photos for DPC Challenges" if you haven't yet. You can find it here //www.dpchallenge.com/tutorial.php?TUTORIAL_ID=26
What I would have done to improve this is to get in closer and make the gate with the stone columns my main subject and point of focus. You have a good idea and with a little work you can greatly improve this. Maybe even go back on a day where there is a few more clouds in the sky and maybe around sunrise or sunset. Usually at these times you can get some wonderful yellows, reds, oranges, and blues in the sky and that would greatly improve your subject.
I look forward to seeing more of your work. |

I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

The car has got to go. Maybe concentrate on the gate itself. |

| Size is so important. Why not use it. Shame about the car parked. Kind of spoiled the photo for me. |

| Like this shot, I'm afraid its going to score lower than it should, It appears on this site you really need to resize at min. 600 on the long side of the image, not to exceed 640...........5 |
