The composition of this photo is very good. The structures do not have a case of falling over but the way you cropped may have helped with that. The sepia tones work well with this photo almost transporting the viewer back in time. It is very crisp and clean the focus so sharp. The texture is very good as you look you see that the dof used allows still see the bricks into the center of the photo.

The one improvement that might be able to be made on this is the time of day the photo was taken. Taking it between 11am and 1pm might still give you a little of the shadowing created by the building on the right but shouldn't cause as much or as dark of a shadow . The shadow even though it tends to add feeling to the photo also seems to distract. You need some of that shadowing just not as much as there is there.

In all it is a very well done photo, keep up the good work

Very nice range of tones, well metered.

Interesting shot! The object that gets the most focus is the blank wall right in the center. This gives the whole shot a kind of empty, bleak feel that seems appropriate. Still plenty of other interesting things to see, too. Nice photograph!

Lovely play of light and shadow. I like the canyon feel. Tones are well done. I wish I knew how to ge the grainy look - I have been playing around and have not been this successful. Great shot.

Very Old-World feel, good use of colour to emphasize that.

The street is a bit on the dark side but the overall mood is one of a time on the edge of bieng forgotten. 7

the lighting and composition in this photo is great but something seems to be missing to make me say "wow" ..
