I think I might have been tempted to tweak the levels on the building to bring the white to true white, I think that would have lifted the image a little. Overall, it is an interesting shot but its minimalist nature does limit your choices somewhat. Just some thoughts... Paul

Thanks for that... the vertical being wrong was just incompetence. Lack of a stranger..... well that was me the photographer!!! Very helpful though thanks for your trouble.

Just not feeling it. The definition needs to be a bit more, and you have something in the lower left that is distracting, but it doesn't seem to give me the feel of a stranger in a strange land.

That is some odd looking architecture.

Processing does this no favors in my opinion,I think a straight shot in good b/w would have worked much better.

Colours are a bit harsh for me, however I like the composition.

The procssing sort of strays off into a cartoon to my eye. Just doesn't work for me.
