Comment by GinaRothfels:
I wish you'd taken one flower out of the arrangement and photographed it on a plain background. The detail on the centre flower is great.

Comment by Gordon:
this is a potentially great subject and well seen. I don't know that you've made the best use of the subject matter though - the area of sky breaks up the composition, as do the people and cars.

I'd love to see this taken more 'straight on' from the other side of the street to really emphasize the patterns and also make more use of the great colour between the purple/red walls and the green escapes

These colors almost don't look real. Nice capture.

Comment by Jacko:
Fits the challenge very nicely. I really like how the stairs stand out. You could try cropping out the bottom portion (people and cars), this would help keep the eyes on te stairs and the perspective. Good job. Jacko.

Comment by wingy:
I like the concept. I think you should either leave enough of the street level in the shot for the viewer to really see what is going on or else cut it out completely. I personally would probably crop the bottom boarder a little higher to reduce the clutter that shows up at the bottom. 5

Comment by Kimbly:
I think the rhythm of the fire escapes might be more apparent if the street at the bottom was cropped out as to not distract from the pattern above.

I like the repitition here, perhaps I would prefer it with the street and people cut off, concentrating on just the building.
