most interesting composition. i hope this is not getting overlooked in this super-sized challenge, and that viewers are giving it the time necessary to wander through it. for me, i think you have competing focal points. i want to zero in on the shows, but my eyes keep getting pulled to the bright reflection under the walkway. well, that's just my opinion. you have a fine image, and i hope it does well for you. good luck with this, and all the challenges yet to come!

There are several things going on with this image. First off, it's not fitting into a classical concept of architectue. Second, there's a great deal of visual clutter. Between the trees in the back, powerlines, and objects in the garage- there's nothing for my eyes to settle on. Third, the light is very flat- typical of winter photography. Ways to correct that include shooting at sunries or sunset. These components together give the image a "snapshot" feel. Some suggestions for improvement would be: get closer- maybe look up at a corner and wall element? The key is trying to control the shot as much as you can. That control makes the difference between a snapshot and a more interesting composition. Very solid effort though!

Good idea and well composed. Especially like the out-of-focus foreground in contrasting color. But it would have been better if the model's feet were a bit more apart (or one at a slight angle, or in front of the other). First impression is that it's a person standing on one leg...7

I assume the feet are the subject, so IMO the drainage hole moves my off the subject, qiute distracting.

I guess i might not be getting why this picture is in this challenge, it seems like a while other idea behind this picture then Architecture,

For me this is just a old building not anything you wouldn´t see 100 other places.

Well captured, lovely quietness in this shot.

A little too dark and busy for me with the blurred plants in the fg...

really interesting perspective here. I can't quite put my finger on why, but this is surprisingly effective. 7.
