I want to know how they got a car in that one garage with the tree growing there?. It must have been "unused" for quite some time. This is a really nice photo. I started to say the closed door was out of focus a little, but after looking closer I think it's just the shadows that make it look that way. Nicely done.

Nice lighting with some interesting shadows, The image begs to be photographed but the straight on shot takes away from any creativity that might have been available. (6) JG

Good choice of subject. However, I don't particularly care for bright sunlight in photos, and would if photographing in different light situations would create a more interesting photo.

Good picture quality. The bricks look new but the door looks old. I really dont get a square feeling from this because the one door up, one door down vibe. You might have achieved a better image by just shooting one door.

Composition - I don't remember seeing this pic so I can't tell you what I originally scored it. The subject of this picture is pretty interesting. This is what I think some of the shortcomings are. First - The crop is awful tight. Seeing the whole circle would be better. It also seems to be cropped from the left side a little less than the right side. A picture framed like this one is should be perfectly centered. Second - I'm not sure what makes part of the writing and drawing white but I don't like it. From wear on the sign or flash, either way I don't think it helps the image. I would've shown more of the sky here. The sky that we can see in the corners is a beautiful deep blue. Maybe there was something behind it, in which case you did the right thing.

Photography - The picture is very clear. The angle is good. I like a looking up perspective shot as much as anyone. If you used the flash for this one, it would explain the white areas in the words and on the figures. If not, then disregard that last part.

Processing - Nothing real obvious is showing, so I'll say nothing

Overall - The subject is pretty good. It doesn't have any real outstanding features to it. I don't really care for the crop, but there might be some extenuating circumstances which warrant this decision. If I did vote for this photo, I can't say I'd give it a great score. It is a well taken photo, but taking a photo well can only carry you so far with a mediocre subject. Looking at your other comments, I'm not telling you anything they didn't (I never look at them until I'm done). Good luck in future challenge and keep shooting BAMartin. - Inspzil

you should have cropped out the sky...it is distracting
