    Hi Brian,

    This is quite a nice record photograph of the building.

    Most of us long for clear blue skies but most times they can
    look very uninteresting in a photograph.
    The light in the middle of the day can also make subjects a little
    flat.
    Maybe a visit later/earlier in the day when the sun is lower or a shooting
    angle that has less sky included might have produced a more interesting image.

    I understand that it is not always possible to be at a nice location when
    conditions for image making are at their best

    Of course my comments are purely an opinion and might seem like photography
    cliche but I find that a nod towards the “rules” when weighing up a scene often
    produces images that are more interesting to view.

    Cheers,

    John.

    Just to add a bit more to John’s reply.
    It seems a little soft. It may be that it might need a little sharpening in your photo editor. This can greatly strengthen shots with stonework, to bring out the detail.
    Or it could be the soft due to the settings..

    I had a look at the exif and it appears you were shooting at 1/1000 sec and F4.56 and ISO 400

    If you have a bright day you has some room to play with in exposure settings. It is best to get the ISO down to 100, or 200 for a cleaner shot.
    Also to get the photo sharper you might want to use a smaller aperture, eg f11.
    Of course higher shutter speed is better for sharper images. But with a 35mm lens on a Canon 1000 it should be fine if you were shooting at 1/100 or 1/200, whilst adjusting ISO and f-stop for a sharper shot.
    That’s what I understand anyway, I hope it helps.

    Regards,

    Martin
