    Don't know what to do with this shot

    It seems to have something about it, but also seems to miss somehow.

    Your take?

    Re: Don't know what to do with this shot

    The color seems a little dull. I'm thinking that this would look better when the sun is low in the sky.

    I also think you have too much door on the right, crop about half of the door out of the image.

    Is the camera squared up with the wall? The sidewalk and the bricks seem to line up oddly.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Re: Don't know what to do with this shot

    I think I would crop out the whole door on the right and probably the sidewalk.
    Keep Shooting!

    Thks. Yeah, this building just ain't right.. something leaning/tilting/whatever. Funny, but the subdued colors are actually what drew me to photograph it, that and the scull door. Here's a crop idea.. I can't seem to find the right crop.

    Re: Don't know what to do with this shot

    I agree with MB - I think the color looks a bit dull. Could mess around with hues and levels to maybe simulate that golden morning light glow. Not all that thrilled with the subject matter. Metering and composition look spot on. I think a crop right in between the two might be the best - cropped two blocks over as opposed to 1 or 2.5...
