Greetings from the Critique Club.

Hi Paul,

I like the perspective you have used here - just looking at it I\'m inclinded to tilt my head up to see all the way up. The \'golden hour\' warm evening light really comes across beautifully. The various line (both on the corner and on the roof) really draw the eye in too. There isn\'t much to keep the eye there once it has been drawn in, but still the idea is there.

So there is a lot to be enjoyed for the viewer who cares to linger. Sadly there is not much there for the 2-second voter - a centred subject of brick and sky. It lacks the pop to grab attention.

I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!

Cheers
Paul

Good idea, but would be more appealing if off center.
