I agree, good start. Nice composition with some interesting shadow patterns.

Yep nice start. I might have cropped out the sky. But that is all.

i agree with everyone here. Great eye, and bravo for finding patterns.

Im always on the look out for shadows that form patterns. Try converting your pic to B&W. Typically shadows/pattersn are emphasized more.

bravo!!!!!!!!!!!

ps

a red filter would definitely make a difference in this scene.

I agree, the first image needs cropping just below the skyline,
but two thumbs up... the composition is there.

Ok

The B&W does emphasize the pattern, but now im certain the color pic is the best.


BRAVO!!!!!
