Hey guys!
I'm looking for a place on the web to receive some critique regarding stuff that I make.
Usually when I post something all I get is a few 'likes' and a couple of positive comments, but it's never critical, like "improve contrast there or composition is weak or colors are crap".
Is this the right place to ask for this?

Welcome to the zoo!
The picture. You could do a lot with it, but don't crop anything out: the grass adds an important sense of depth, which it surprises me that some dislike. But hey, as I say, a zoo!
For me, it's all too bright, too metallic. I think you have an interesting shot living there, but it needs a lot of
different post to make it come out as I think it probably could. Tone it down and, if it's there, find some detail in the roof area. Give it a whirl in black and white; the latter will permit a more dramatic treatment than does colour, which only manages, mostly, to look right or wrong.
For certain, I think black/white is generally a far more interesting medium from a photo perspective, but colour allows the geeks a much wider intellectual playground...
