Thanks for your comments. I have not cropped it, for various reasons. One of them is that I had not much time and found it hard to get a decent 640x480 crop out of it. The picture was not made specifically for this challenge, I made it to think about future possibilities with this subject.
It was a bit hard to get a decent framing, I had no tripod (to allow more zoom and thus a longer shutter time in these light conditions). In front were parked cars, the little white rail is a sign for the library (very unfortunate to have it on the pic) and the surrounding buildings are not interesting. So I really should have taken the time to crop it. :-)
The 1610 date was not taken in account, and not meant to push the theme. Dates are on all the old structures in Hoorn / Holland, so I cannot help that.
Unfortunate that I met the oldest lady of Hoorn in front of the oldest home in Hoorn after the submission date. :-)
The reason why it looks so new, is because it was restored a couple of years ago, like many other likewise structures. I think they keep them in better shape nowadays. If you like these kind of structures, there are a lot more in Hoorn. And indeed, it is a kind of Begijnenhuis. Doei :-) |

| I think I would have cropped more off the top and have as little of the windows as possible -- maybe cut that tiny bit of railing off the bottom too |

| The theme is forced with the use of the 1610 date. |

| Get square on, or take a more extreme angle. There are two windows intruding on the right side. |

| Technically good, but lacking in punch: I would have liked to see more (or less) of the building itself. I think closer in or all the way out to show the whole building would have improved the overall composition ΓΆ€“ just one opinion(5) |

| Good choice of subjects but I think we needed to see either more or less of the building they're on. As it is we can see this is a doorway but we know nothing about what the building is. A closer zoom could have showed us more detail on the ladies themselves. |

| this is cool. i would have tried either cropping more and just showing the top of the door (without that white - railing?) or cropping less and showing the whole door |

| This photo shows something old... My mind wants to see the entire doorway, however. The small bit of railing on the bottom of the frame is a moinor distraction... the fact that the photo is not 'level' is not a problem... :) - jmsetzler |

| Het begeinenhuis! (or is begijnenhuis?). Oddly enough, this building looks so new on this picture!!! :) I know these places and I know the date is genuine and know also that they are really old and wonderful. So, it struck me as very funny. The only thing that really bothers me are the bits of the two windows on the right; would have cropped them out as it mars the composition. Ditto for the whie shape in the black overture of the gate. Daaaaag! :) |

Nice shot of a building that must be old .. but....
This building and its artifacts have been maintained so wonderfully that they don't readily show "age." |
