Positives:
Color and lighting are the strengths of this composition.
Technicals:
Color, lighting and perspective is good in this image. Cropping to include the tree framing adds viewer interest.
Looking on a sharpness sensitive monitor it appears just a touch oversharpened. You can see some digital "jaggies" along the some of the edges on the stairwell.
You might consider a closer crop to highlight the building more. The overhang just to the immediate right bottom of the building acts as a distraction.
The Challenge:
You scored 4.9 which is about .4 below the challenge average. Voters probably felt the link to the challenge topic was weak and lowered the score because of it. Oversharpening may have contributed to a lower score as well.
Suggestions:
The best change you could make to this for a higher score is to crop it differently and closer to the near wall of the building. By cropping it closer to include only the near wall would better direct viewer attention to the 'shapes' it has which is, after all, what attracted you to the image in the first place. Be sure to crop out everything to the immediate right of the main building wall.
Of course, that would mean cropping out almost all the nice tree framing on the left side which I'd normally recommend doing but it would be better for a "shapes" challenge.
Consider backing off the sharpness a bit to eliminate the "jaggies".
Note:
Your pictures are getting better. You are headed in the right direction. Keep with it and you can be as good or better than anyone else at this site. |

| Interesting building, but for a challenge on shapes, it might work better to focus on a single shape instead of so many (the parapet, the stairs, the gridded windows, the trees, the folding chairs, etc.) |

| The tree is kind of in the way, I would have gone for another angle and include less "around-stuff" |
