    I think the first thing I notice, is that I am not sure what I am supposed to be looking at. I am not sure I really see a specific subject here?

    Works for me, 5 nice horizontal sections and neatly composed subject in the foreground, not to mention some great colours! Well done!

    Re: A House under a Motorway

    Hi Chi-Ming, Really appreciate your comment. Would you suggest what can be added or omitted in the shot to increase the focus? Thanks in advance.

    Hi Herriot, Thanks for the analysis as always.

    Re: A House under a Motorway

    Well, I am trying to figure out what I can see that might make it better. It is a very clean shot but I wonder if the city in the background isn't too bright, my eye is more drawn there then to anything in the foreground.

    Tightly layered shot with the ominous, over-hanging freeway above. That's what we have here and it is, as usual, presented with a certain flair and structure. Enjoyable.

    I suppose the inhabitants tend to shout at each other all day long just to be heard...

    I like the multiple layers but then I somewhat agree that the city in the background draws significant attention. You might want to crop the top part of the frame to simplify things and you would ends up with a valuable picture that would be easy on the eyes but then you would loose the layers complexity that makes that shot really unique.

    To sum things up, I like this but I think that I would try to slightly burn the "city layer" which is significantly brighter than the rest of the frame.
