    Just liked the look of this...

    So I shot it. I've had a play with levels and curves and sharpened it a bit.

    I like it. I'd try to make it a bit more symmetrical though, by straightening it up (needs to go counterclockwise a bit?), and cropping the bottom just a tad so you lose the sidewalk edging on the left that isn't on the right. I think the post processing works really well with the plants.
    Feel free to edit and repost my photos as part of your critique.

    VERY interesting photo. Good 'shop work. I agree, crop or 'shop out the left sidewalk border. But I wouldn't change anything else. I think being slightly crooked is part of it's charm.

    Nice work Dave. Sometimes centering the subject does work. I like how it is not oversaturated.
    Keep Shooting!

    Wow, thanks Frog. I set my camera in RAW mode, no onise reduction, natural saturation and zero sharpening. It seems to make photographs the way I like them.....sometimes!!!

    Dave,

    That really is a nice photo and the second version wins because you eliminated the kerb on the bottom left corner and the colours seem a lot better.
