I am terribly sorry to jinx you like this but I have to say this... Aaaand we have a winner!!! By far the best shot in the challenge IMHO and I absolutely love it, it got a 10 from me and went straight to my favorites.

Great shot Brad! Congrats!
I had a feeling that I've seen this row before but wasn't sure. Now I am. If I remember correctly, this street is called Hope Str, right? I took a similar photo some years ago in my film days with this row of boxes and the street sign above.

Edit: Darn, just read your comments - it is Hope str, of course, and your Serendipity entry (which I hadn't seen before) is almost identical to that photo of mine which I mentioned above.

I think there are too much dark sky in this pic. Something to up right, or instead of it, a different and closer composition.

In my opinion, one of the best pictures for this challenge. Wonderful job!!

It's a bit distracting how there is almost no empty space above the chimney and how the lowest part of the chimney isn't included in it's interity.
Zooming away slightly or simply backing off would have been nice here.

Aside from these minor points I must say it's not really an interesting photograph to look at. Yes, we have those rooftiles forming a sort of a texture and various bricks in the chimney but those things alone most surely don't add up to a good photograph.

The obvious thing to add to this picture would of course be a person, either climbing the chimney or looking at it in from the roof. Of course it would have been a bit tricky setting this up but my point here is that it's not interesting enough photo as it currently is.
Or perhaps I should ask you, do you find it to be an interesting photograph? And if so, why? And if not, how would you improve it?
(It's not that it matters terribly much whether you like your photograph or not but what really matters is WHY you like it or dislike it.)

(I'm terribly sorry if I'm stating the obvious truth or if it sounds like I'm patronizing. Most surely not my intention.)

What a great sky - looks like you had a good storm pushing through. The mailboxes are funny :)
