Well, what do YOU think is wrong with it? For starters, I'd probably crop it down to eliminate the blown sky in the upper right corner, and most of the rather uninteresting background to boot. To me, your focus here is on the pretty girl, not the rather bland architecture in the background. That building looks like any of the thousands of roadside rest stops along the American interstate system, so even if it's from Bangkok or somewhere interesting, it doesn't identify itself as such.

I figured it might be, but like I said, it doesn't identify itself as such. It looks like a long, 1-story place with a tin roof, and there's a million of them along I-80. :thumbup:

I agree. I probably would have shot this tighter. ( filled the frame with the girl and at wider fstop to blur the background

Here it is with the shadows bumped a bit (in Picassa) and a slight sharpening.

Cropped to bring out the subject, and corrected the levels.
This is just my opinion of how I would have handled this one.

nice snapshot, but you must boost the contrast. it looks a bit flat,ie. not very black blacks and not very white whites.
