Dante's Poetic Conversionsby

My first impression fo this shot is that I really like the muted-ness of most of the colors, but the bright green beyond the covered area.
Compositionally speaking, I think it works well to have the contrast between the two buildings, joined by a walkway. This speaks metaphorically, if you will, about conversion, even if you have to think about it for a minute or two. Also, I like how it "peeks" into what is to come through the covered area. The only thing that doesn't work for me is the white corner "post" looking thing cutting the picture in half. I find it distracting and wonder if would have been possible to compose the shot without having it quite so centered.
Technically, again, I love the colors in this. The focus and exposure seem right on.
For this challenge, I wonder if others thought about Dante's writings and were trying to reconcile the picture to that, instead of the book you alluded to in your comments? It doesnt' seem contrived, and the picture does well to establish what could be a setting of the movie.
Well done, and best wishes in future challenges.
