Hi, Endri!
Welcome in GFX.
I agree with the above....looks very good in B&W...well done.
This is another face of my country (Albania) who is not shown in my work...
Strange people......who live in extreme poverty and have digital tecnology (TV chanel via sat) in their home.

I think the front wall with windows is the most interesting part of the photograph. So it would be great to take a close-up of them.
PS I love old houses.

Black and white version was good decission. It helps to focus on the lines and structures of architecture itself while viever's eye isn't disturbed by colors.

Question is about angle of view. It isn't bad at all, but on the other hand it doesn't provide any special feeling. This view is rather describing than anything else.
If there isn't any better view than this one, then I would suggest you to play with light a little bit. If I were you I would wait for evening ....or morning.... or night .... or storm ...or fog .... or something else that can give special value to this view. It's interresting house but without secondary motive the photography is somehow empty.

As Maurene mentioned, you can also do some experiments with details in case your camera has zoom. Architecture is perfect category, ideal for abstract forms, geometry, light and shadows.

Hi! Welcome to GFX!
Nice first picture. Looks very nice in B&W. My advice: try some different angles/compositions/perspectives, to make the photo more 'exciting'.
Btw, it looks a bit low resolution.

i genrally like the shot but its a bit out of focus and there is no hero in this picture its too flat. nothing stands out and claims the shot.

once you find a hero the ending will be great|
