Very nice moody feel, love the dark shapes moving in front of the textured old building. Has a very lonely feel. Well done.

PostLuminous Award Nominee!
immediately intriguing at first glance--and at second look, and at third, lingering examination...
well done!

Haunting image. Successfully breaks "the rules" of composition. Great job!

I like the 2 people in the shot and the way the light in the two rooms adds interest and layers in the shot. It appears the crop was made to include the entire bright area of the ground but to me it may have looked a bit more balanced if the the doorway was leveled up and some of the right hand side cropped out.

Nicely done, good blacks against soft whites and browns, great details

Very nice shot!

You may like to tilt/straighten the figure a degree or two anticlockwise.

the arches throughout the image, the dark shadowed people, the bright sunshine of another day - it works nicely together

Great depth and textures. The central lighting is a bit too overpowering tho

There is a lot to like about this image and I see how you would like it, but the burned out area with no detail bothers me a little

Excellent capture. The light and shadows are wonderful. There are a few technical problems, in my view. It could be a tad sharper, and it seems ti list to the right. Nonetheless 7.
