Comment by Lustre:
Nice composition, but it looks like it needs a very slight clockwise rotation

My only comment is the bridge in the background. It seems to draw you to your subject then all of a sudden it seems to cut it in half. I just found it very distracting. Perhaps a tighter crop to make your subject the only attention point.

Comment by Artifacts:
The lighting angle on the building is the strength of this image. For low lighting conditions the overall clarity and quality of this image is very good.

Don't know if the greenish lighting color is the result of actual conditions or the effect of post processing but it does not matter. It is effective adds a lot of viewer interest to the image. Even the porch in complete shadow, which normally would be an error, seems to work with this image to give it a surrealist quality that is appealing.

Well, it's a good photograph, and it is dark, but to me it's not really ABOUT darkness. The meaning of darkness, is what I'm thinking of. Is this really what darkness means to you? Whatever, it is a very appealing image. 7
