Good grief. Apocalypse redux. Where others see beauty and serenity, Joey Lawrence finds intimations of bloodshed and terror to come in the dark night of the dying soul.

blown-out highlights and afressive oversharpening make this image a little harsh for my tastes. The compositon is nice, and the sense of "circular blur" on the BG surface is really sweet.

Very tidy! I know that arcade well :-) Consider cloning out the little black protrusion on the right pillar, and maybe try to bring the rear light ficture out of the shadow a tad more, an easy fix. The image feels alittle oversharpened as well; see the haloes around the light fixtures. This kind of stucco is a pretty soft stuff, visually, so I'd back off a tad on the sharpening I think.

Very nicely composed.
