Siesta

Comment by LucidLotus:
I think this is a gorgeous photo. The natural light really brings out the color of the building, the matching windows give a very nice congruency. I love the human interest and that little pigeon on the ledge just gives a bit of whimsy.

Excellent focus, composition is great. Very well done.

I absolutely adore the color and tone, I think its the best part of the image, it feels so alive and fresh. The only thing I'd say that would improve the image would be to crop it at the top, the sky/roof is simple unnecessary in my view. All the action is where the windows are so I think from those slats across the top for the roof, up is dead weight.

The title kind of takes away from meeting the challenge since the lady doesn't seem to be taking a siesta and she's where my eyes go first, though it could be in reference to the pigeon. The photo though certainly meets the challenge so all is well. All in all though this is an excellent capture. I gave it an 8
