An interesting setting and lighting. Without your title, I have no reference for whether this is a common style for this neighborhood, or if it's out of place (but welcome) so the serendipity part is lost on me. I like the lanterns and the overall composition with the angle of the balcony and branches framing the top. I think I would crop it slightly on the left to heighten that.

Give it a more croping from the left. Fine subject but not very sharp and I dont know if it´s good for this challege, seems like you´re trying to sqeeze it in a litle with the title.

as I said in a previous comment..Good photo.. your Idea was depicted..very well... and the photo should have scored a point or more higher on average..shown by the 98 voters who scored it 5 or above..the experience I have had on this Site has made me a better photographer...with each challenge..good or bad finish..gives me the initiative..to do better...regardless of the outcome...return to the next challenge..with your same work ethic..and you will be surprised...by the way...lol... your photo really wasn't a "4"

I am kinda sad that my photo came in so low. I worked really hard to get a solid background and nice lighting. Oh well, to live is to learn! :) I'd really like to know what people liked and didn't like about the photo. Can someone please post some comments for me? :)

I like the triptych effect of this shot; but I think it's marred a bit by the loose blindes to the left of the center and left panels. I think if they were tucked over tightly against the sides of the windows the effect would be stronger. I like the lighting and mood; would probably look good in B+W as well.
