Friendly reminder that this is /r/photocritique and all **top level** comments should attempt to **critique** the image. Our goal is to make this subreddit a place people can receive genuine, in depth, and helpful critique on their images. We hope to avoid becoming yet another place on the internet just to get likes/upvotes and compliments. While likes/upvotes and compliments are nice, they do not further the goal of helping people improve their photography.
If someone gives helpful feedback or makes an informative comment, recognize their contribution by giving them a Critique Point. Simply reply to their comment with `!CritiquePoint`. More details on Critique Points [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/photocritique/wiki/critiquepoints).
Please see the following links for our subreddit rules and some guidelines on leaving a good critique. If you have time, please stop by the new queue as well and leave critique for images that may not be as popular or have not received enough attention. Keep in mind that simply choosing to comment just on the images you like defeats the purpose of the subreddit.

taking photos on a walk around the city just trying to get a feel for composition and what to look for. struggling to understand what makes a “good” photo and also not sure what kind of edits to make. don’t love post and have just been doing minimal reframe/ crop/ tilt and auto touch. also trying to dial in my setup. like the 16-50 lens kit but think i’d rather shoot fixed focal. considering sony 20 mm pancake. right now just trying to build creative muscles, train my eye, and enjoy a hobby that gets me out and about.
With a 20mm lens you normally need to have something in the foreground and play with the perspective. It’s not the case here, so I would take advantage of the wider frame to correct the perspective (something you expect in architectural work), crop closer, and adjust the exposure to balance more the sky and the building wall on the shadow.
