My first photo on here, I shot this yesterday in Spain, it was a three floor building and I would have liked to have fitted in the other floors but only had a 70mm lens, so I did a crop.

That's one type of image that always appeals to me. I think the three are fine without including any others.

Really nice - great whites and a simple but effective composition!

Some tidying up to do I think if possible - I'd give the yellow bands near the top a bit of a saturation boost, and the 'converging vertical' effect along the left edge is intrusive. Do you have software to straighten this out and pull the door out and line it up? In PS Elements you could probably do this with 'Free Transform.

This work will probably also remove the extra bit at the top left at the edge of the yellow bands, and this would be neater I think.

I think it's great, and I also see where Nigel is coming from.

Odd numbers always seem to work. I like it

Thanks for the comments, I'm yet to sort out some proper software to edit parts of the photo. Can you do this with a jpeg or would the photo have to be shot in RAW ?

You can edit any sort of file. GIMP is a free download that emulates most of the essentials of Photoshop quite well.
Best regards, John

A nice shot and perfectly level. I don't think it needs any additional processing. If you 'fixed' the verticals it would look like the bannister sides were slanted up.
