My first impression is that the building has many exciting features to explore with a camera in hand. The crisp lines of the building call out for a sharp image. However, your photo looks a little fuzzy to me.
If you took the picture using a handheld camera, consider pushing your ISO up to increase your shutter speed. It is difficult to get a sharp photo at 1/25 sec, without a tripod. Also, consider the point of focus. By using a 16mm focal length and an aperture of 5.6, you should achieve a sharp photo of the building by finding a focus point around 10 ft. in front of the camera.

The final version certainly transformed the original into a more exciting image. The halo around the rock looks a bit strange. Is it possible to change the halo effect in the program? |

Margaret,
Thank you for the comments. Please note my comments to Beverly regarding the background. I was locked into a shallow depth of field by using a 70mm lens and f/2.8 setting to blur the background. However, I added slightly more blur to the horn in photoshop because I was trying to draw the viewer to the man's face. |

Beverly, the degree of background blur, is mostly a matter of taste and technique. How much blur?, a question I think about a lot. I decided to go in another direction because I was trying to maintain the feeling of the sunlight streaming through the trees. I also wanted to keep the bokeh created by the sun's light on the lens, which may give the viewer a clue that this is photograph was captured in a natural environment, not in a studio. The challenge was to do this without distracting from the main focus of the image, which is the gentleman's face and eyes.
