Very interesting facade. Something is missing to give it that "pop". But well seen.

I do like this. My first impression was that you didn't pose or engage the subject; it almost looks candid. But I have to give you the benefit of the doubt and guess that you conceived and composed this with your subject's cooperation. An eight for you.

Comment only from a non-voting, non-member: An interesting rule breaker... having the subject leaving the frame. In my humble, amateur opinion, the composition is effective, but I would have liked to see the face be out of the shadows or at least brightened a bit.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: I like the way you have chosen to shoot this - the offset and rotation contributes things to the image which would have been lost with a straighter composition. Your colour handling is also effective, capturing an indoor feel. I also like the way that we can't help but try to count the storeys (10??)

Critical stuff: Not much - there is a finite amount of interest in this scene, but I like what you've done with it.

Overall: An effective image, made so by your composition choices.

this seems to lack the intent of the challenge - yes it is on the street, but seems candid rather than planned
