The garishness of the image complements the garishness of the title. Clever.

Composition: I like the idea and the two shapes, door area and window area, complement each other. However, the framing is too tight at the bottom and on the left. Also, the perspective is a little skewed probably due to the angle you chose to shoot at.

Exposure: Seems a little underexposed and the lighting is quite flat. Also, the colours seem a little drab. Maybe that's how they are but to get the image to pop I feel the yellow needs to be more saturated and there needs to be more contrast to bring out the texture of the stone.

Impact: A little due to the choice of subject however not enough to hold a viewer for more than a couple of seconds.

:-)
i did underexpose it for 2 reasons; 1 because at normal exposure it was too heavy of a shutter speed to deal with on my SD110 (especially after a couple of them guys in the foreground). second reason is that the highlights stood out much better that way.

thanks!

Fits challenge=5
Color/lighting=0
DOF/focus=1
Wow factor/uniqueness=0
Attractiveness=0

I know from the subject that is does have nice texture but difficult to see it here. I wonder if a lower, right across the top of it, angle would work better. Good color.

Good luck
