An invitation picture - one that you want to "go in to" but I think it would benefit from having much less foreground. At the very least cropped to the line where the shadow steps in on the right and the wall buttress on the left are.
Oh, this makes me homesick for Europe. Great capture. The whites are a bit lost due to slight overexposure, but it still hold the image. A lower viepoint could have also made this more unique.
I like this. Every city needs it's intimate spaces. A little over exposed but I guess your camera was fooled by the dark door in the center. It looks like you were using spot metering and picked the darkest part to calculate with. Oops, I do that all the time.
Seems a little bright; could try (I think) a faster shutter speed to let less light into the exposure... colours are a little washed out due to over-exposure.
the shrubberies on top of the arch make this look sort of like a miniature. intimacy is a good title. It's a shame about the blown-out overcast sky but if the sky always looks like that not much you could have done about it.
