 Where all the cool people go for lunch. Just the quaint, cafe-style place here that signifies "Home Sweet Home" to me. Taken late afternoon on a rainy day.

I like the photo, but it is a restaurant, not home to me.

Its pretty good but it couldve been taken at a different time of day, the clouds take away from the feeling of home. 5

A little dark. Could look better by adjusting the levels slightly.

5. Fits the theme well enough, and there are no blatant 'you suck!' flaws to it, but neither does it really grab me for any reason at all. For reasons of composition, cropping, or subject choice, it's just a photo, and doesn't do especially much for me, aesthetically.

I do like the colors on the building, but the overall tone of the photo seems artificially dark (maybe to keep the sky from being blown out?), as if I'm viewing it through smoky cellophane. Probably due to your lens, the nominally vertical lines of the traffic signal and corner of the building lean to the right as they go up, giving it a slightly vertiginous feel.

Nice clarity and quality of the image. I really like how the side of the building is shot with the traffic light. It adds a nice touch to the image and makes the image more attractive to the viewer.
