Interesting reflections. The composition is strong, but the photo overall seems a bit flat to me. The colours are nice though.

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

I particularly like the crosswalk sign in this image. It's off-center composition seems to work really well. I also consider that sign to be the 'subject' of this shot. That being the case, the 'no standing or parking' sign seems to be creating a minor problem for me. It is catching some light from somewhere that is making it much brighter than your 'subject' sign. I'm not sure if these two signs are supposed to be related in some way... I can't see it though.

Unfortunately, I believe that the banner behind the crossing sign is also somewhat distracting from the composition as well. I can't really offer any suggestions for improvement on this image. Not knowing the environment, I would not want to try to suggest different angles. There is probably a lot of clutter looking from other perspectives on this sign...

A good idea. The crackle of branch shadows add to the psychological depth of your image. As my choice I would like to wave a magic wand and get closer to eliminate the sky and chimney as the story is told by the windows themselves. Only a suggestion to your worthy moment of inspiration.

The bushes in this shot really detract from it for me. I would have loved a nice tight crop surrounding all the windows and really showcasing them. The reflections of the trees are wonderful and provide so much interest. The overall color on my monitor is blue, and I'm wondering if it was your white balance, or if possbly that color cast could have been removed in PS or a similar progra. I think if the building was more of a nice stark white, it would have provided a wonderful contrast and really made the photo "pop". Then again, maybe I'm completely off base and the building IS blue!!

Ahhhhh. The beauty of the old buildings. I love it. I'm so glad you did it in color also. That beautiful blue sky against the rool line is georgeous. I love the shadows of the tree limbs, they add mystic to the photo. Looks like someone might have started to fix it up, and gave up. There's a story here. Really great photo. Love it.

Photograph looks cool but I don't think it is very original.
