Light up my walls.

This is probably my favourite UE shot i've taken with this camera.
I'm not sure how to improve on this. Please tell me anything and everything you think about it.

Ways to improve: Get a spirit level for your cameras hot shoe. Your camera was tilted up way too much.

Other than that, the picture looks great. Your camera settings were bang on besides the fact that you shot as jpg instead of raw. Good dynamic range, colour and focus/sharpness.

I shoot in dual Mode, Jpeg and Raw. But thank you.

It's shot at such a weird angle that it's hard to tell if it's crooked or not. It actually doesn't bother me much, but I suspect I'd be in the minority on that. The only other thing I'd do is to desaturate it a bit, but that's really just personal preference.

Most of my thoughts have already been mentioned. Forget all of the crazy image tech info, just fix that wonky angle! and perhaps desaturate a bit.
Maybe step back a bit to give more context of the place? All you can see is house and sky - and this buildings just not all that interesting on its own IMO.

Really quickly straightened with not near enough effort or skill, it looks like this:



I removed the TV antenna (again, quickly and without much skill) because it was listing pretty badly after the straightening.

Straightening required a tighter crop that changes the composition a bit.

The latter is definitely an improvement in straightening. But honestly I preferred it more with the antennae and powerlines. They lead my eye a bit better.
