Vacancy

[Addies Granddaddy]

One of the rooms at an old, run-down, out of business motel called the Comfort Inn. I didn't want to crop so tight on the sides, but originally I had only a partial window on the left, so I did it this way. C & C welcome.

Things I like:
- Color composition
- The wooden slats on the door's blind
- That reflection in the window is VERY nice.

Things I don't like:
- The photo just seems flat to me
- The stickers in the window keep pulling my attention to the photo over-all
- At the bottom, I feel like if there should be more there. The dark of the parking space and/or sidewalk would contrast nicely with the rest of the photo and give it more depth.
- The photo needs a better focal point than the wooden blind slats and the stickers in the window.

Just off the top of my head.

Thanks adrock. Points taken.
I was contemplating doing something to remove the stickers in the window, and maybe working the levels/contrast to see if I could just make the reflection of the building stand out a little.

I think to balance the picture you should go ahead and crop out the right shutter. Maybe sharpen it some. I like the reflection and agree it might be better to clone the stickers and the light fixture on the inside. I like the dull colors it matches the reflection. Nice find.
