crayonComment by HBunch: Thought I'd stop by to make up for that 'missing comment'.
I personally don't prefer the grain, however, I pictured it without the grain, and had you not put the grain in, I think I would have said something like 'lacks something to add visual appeal'. Sooo... I supose this needed a little 'something'.
At first the image was a little confusing. Looked a shot of a roof with a light pole behind it, but then part of the roof is floating in mid air? But After looking at it for a minute, it's obvious. I think this is important. It draws my attention, and holds it. So while I don't really prefer the effect, and the image is simple in nature, it really does hold my attention.
I like the color...or lack there of. I think it fits in the challenge perfectly.
I also like the way you have the light positioned in combination with the tiles. The photo is balanced nicely.
Focus and clarity are good, Doesn't appear that you added the grain to try to cover up something.
Lighting also appears to have been ok. The small dark bottom left draws some attention, but does not harm the overall photo in my opinion.
Hope this helps...if not, lemme know and I'll just come back and write 'Great job'. :-p
