I'm a big fan of alternative cropping in the world of DPC voters. My only crit is the colors are very muted in this photo and the sun is diminished by the complexity of the wires.

I really love this photo. The shadows on the sidewalk really make this photo interesting. The bricks are amazing.

If there's any creature that's street smart...it's a pidgeon! I love your textrues and shadows. Great lines in this image. A real sense of depth.

No doubt the bird is on the walk way but it doesn't seems like it's crossing the street.

Hi from the Critique Club,

You've captured an interesting structure here with a fresh and probably not very often photographed perspective. I really liked this challenge, because it encouraged a perspective not often considered by many photographers, including myself. With that said, I think there are only a few things working against you here. First, the edge of the building caught in the upper-left corner is distracting. Rather than being drawn to the structure, my eye keeps being pulled to the negative space between the main subject and the edge of the building in the top corner. Second, the stuff in the bottom-right corner is competing for my attention; perhaps a slightly different composition would have helped. Third, it looks a bit oversharpened for the web; there's a bit of haloing at the top and along the shadow edge of the building.

On the positive side, the colours are nice and I like the textures of the bricks on the subject. Overall lighting is good and the gradation in the sky is nice.

Your score would improve a bit if the subject was a bit more captivating, but overall I think your technicals are quite sound and your image is quite deserving of the score it obtained.

Regards,
Geoff

Nice view, but i'm not sure the sepia works best for it. there is an object just in view in the corner that is distracting but unrecognizable.
