interesting shot ... I think I would have taken the bit of grass and curb out of the bottom of the shot

Nice exposure, and I like the echo of the fountain in the flagpole. Missed that little touch the first time through, so bumping you up to a 6 on the second pass.

WoW! This looks like a painting--love it. The tones, colors and darkness are very impressive. Gives a feeling of being deserted, lost and recently abandoned. A new ghost town? Wonderful-

Beautiful venation. Maybe clone out the brown spots, as they distract a bit.

I love how people take something and just make it look like it has been set up in a studio for a picture. Here you took a picture of a neighborhood and adjusted the lighting so it looks like there is a prop light right on it.

You have some really great colors but there is nothing that really is popping out other than the lighting. I think that when you do this you should have a subject that is just outstanding and WOW.

Good luck with the challenge.
