Hello Oscar,
Congratulations on completing the course and thanks for sharing your final project with the community.
I really like the first picture, the contrast between the colors of the flag and the grey sky is very powerful. Also, the fact that the sky takes up so much space in the frame makes the photo very creative.
The second photo has a few minor issues:
a) It seems to be slightly out of focus (or the focus is on the floor - I can't really tell). This may have been caused by a small hand shake when taking the picture or/and a slow shutter speed. A soft focus can also be caused by a narrow depth of field, which is very difficult to achieve when your subject is moving.
I recommend you play with these settings once more and carefully think about where you want the focus to be in your frame. You then import them into your computer and zoom in to see if the focus is sharp.
b) the building is not straight. I personally think that the horizon line should always be perfectly horizontal, especially when photographing clear lines such as buildings. If not, I think the picture looks untidy, as if you hadn't taken the time to properly think about the composition. This is not a rule and you are free to tilt the horizon if you want to, but I recommend you tilt it considerably, so it's obvious it's an aesthetic choice and not an oversight.
I hope this helps!
Thanks again for sharing your project.
Best of luck,
Giulia
