Not sure if this works, but I like it's simplicity. Was really tempted to wait for a pedestrian/cyclist etc but it kinda felt a little cliched. Not sure. Also toyed with cropping off the kerb but, although it neatly splits it into three horizontal bands, it seemed weird without the kerb. I kinda think it looks better without the sign to the right maybe too, as in th link below.

Much better with the large link. Click and hit 'l' please.

Comments and thoughts would be great. Thanks.

I would like to see a little more detail in the black as I'm having a hard time seeing where the ground ends and the wall begins. I looks as if the door is part way up a wall. - Terry

I like this. On my monitor, the dark areas look all right. There may be a teeny tiny bit of barrel distortion though.

My monitor is pretty dark so I can't see the sidewalk either. But I do love the contrasting colors. That door/frame really pops out with the muted colors around it.

A few have mentioned that the blacks seem dark, but on a calibrated monitor it seems fine. Weird. Maybe it's a browser issue?

Thanks for the replies and comments guys. This is the other version I like, without the extra sign on the wall.

This makes me think of Palestine. The ridge on the bottom could be more well lit or detailed, and there could stand to be a bit more red on the top.

My monitor is also calibrated. There really is no 'brightness' calibration. - TF

I like both versions of this, seeing plenty of detail in the blacks on my Mac (dunno if that makes any difference) monitor.

Definitely has strong design, but also throws me for a loop. Maybe too many objects and colors? I think that the upper reddish brick area is fun but that if it were painted white that it would be a tad less busy. I might trim a bit off the left side. Good eye for seeing this, and capturing it.

is the gamma not calibrated? i am pretty sure it is.

I think it's fine. It works, the simplicity and bold colors make the shot, perfectly cropped as well.

many thanks my friend.
