Help to understand why this photo has low quality

[Florencia26587201idvd]

Hi everyone! I'm new in this community.

I've uploaded this image, but I cannot seem to find where the issue is.
Could somebody help me out?

technicaly, the lighting is ok however, I would still bring down the highlights and open up the shadows. Also, I feel that it needs sharpening.

Composition is bad. Really bad. You should have taken a step back to get more to the right of the door in the picture. And the foot of the entry is also to narrow. https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography/technique/composition.html

The asset is slightly underexposed, and not sharp. I wonder if NR means "noise reduction". If yes, then why do you have exessive noise to reduce when taking a picture at ISO 100?

I wasn't there, so I could be wrong, but in addition to the other issues mentioned, I think this could have been color corrected.

With this correction, the image is now too blue. It takes the colour away from the red of the flowers (Oleander?) they are a bright red as seen in the picture, and the colour of the door...

Hi @Florencia26587201idvd ,

It has an ashy appearance possibly because it's slightly overexposed. The image need a bit more contrast or vibrancy.

Best wishes

The image is blurry because it was enlarged too much.
If it's a photo, we recommend editing it so that it isn't enlarged.

Thank you all for your help. It was very insightful!

Hello,

For a different opinion, I would say that a smaller aperture would have been better—f/8, for example. At f/4, a focal length of 60mm is a bit too wide to have sharp details. As you can see in this screenshot, which is at 100% the detail is not so good:

It looks like you have cropped the picture too closely as well. I think you should give more room around the door frame. 

My personal view is that the exposure is Ok, and the white balance for this picture is fine. After all, such a scene would be like this in the Southern European sun!

PS - I don't think for this type of shot you needed to use the 'Enhance' function in Lightroom Classic/Lightroom. It is unnecessary.
