One step to the left and a slightly more head on composition and this would have been perfect for me. I love the colorus but would have cropped the edge of the curb out as it is a little distracting :o)
I like the pavement. Given that this is Beale St., music, those lines -- it sort of looks like a musical score to me. I won't ask if that makes any sense.
if i remember correctly, the shadow is what drew my attention in the first place. as for the sidewalk, i think a 8x10 crop would take care of that. might change it if i upload a printable version of this one...
nice composition and contrasting colors.
And the diagonal shadow makes it even more interesting.
The only thing I don't like is the bottom part of the pavement.
Maybe if that part was cropped off?
