For some reason the building looks very soft. Did you use a tripod? If so was the floor vibrating or did the camera shake somehow?

I think the people are a bit to ghostly. To me they need a tad bit more solidity to them. But that's just me.

I did a quick scroll crop in my browser and I think you could crop a bit off the left side for sure and maybe a tad off the bottom. Again, that's just me.

I agree with what you said, the "soft" building was more distracting than the lack of solidity to them - maybe if making the people more solid with a faster shutter speed, perhaps waiting for more people in the scene might be need too (not sure). Maybe use slow sync flash.

I'm glad to see you hanging around here. And I'm also glad to see you shooting more than just mountain bikes. The more you shoot, the better you'll get - at all photo subjects.

I think this is a good start. Looks like you didn't use a tripod, though. Go back and take a tripod with you and do it right. I think I'd frame it a little tighter, too. It feels a little sloppy at the top right. I think I'd frame it so that I could only see one of those arches. And maybe even tighten it up at the bottom, too. Get rid of anything that doesn't really add something to the image. Distill is down to what really matters.

Hey J.

YOu are right.. I didnt use a tripod, just put the camera against the wall and held my breath for 15" ; )
Thanks for the feedback.
