First post here

I just moved to Brownsville, Tx and within the week I needed to do something other then look for a house. I took off and headed towards the area encompassing the border crossing and found these interesting alleys. What do you all think?

Great Photo! May I ask how you processed this?

I used the nostalgic preset for Lightroom that I dl from:

i like it, though there is no definitive subject to focus on. i also think it would work better if it was cropped on the bottom and just started from the big puddle.

Yep, I'll second that.

Great shot and processing.

I meant for you to crop the bottom off, not the top. Maybe I didn't say it right. I like the original image but with the bottom cropped right up to the reflection/puddle.


maybe something like this:

Looks great that way. I was wondering if you saw something I didn't with my crop.

I really like this shot...as is! LOve the mood and the depth. Great capture.
