We were walking around St. Augustine Fl and I looked down an alley and saw this. C&C appreciated.

Fantastic! You almost have two photos in this one! The pop of red above and below is just superb. I scolled until I couldn't see the top of the other building, and liked it?


you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

I like it, but I am not sure where the focus is. Colors and lines are great.

I would have like to have seen a perspective a little closer to the ground. By doing this would have given greater depth to your composition utilizing the lines on the ground.

The light - the brightest part of the picture.

One of my favorite photos I've seen in awhile. I might clone out the bright, yellow light ( I might not) and the brown smudge on the left wall. Everyone suggests that people's eyes are drawn to the bright spots in an image. Mine are not. I look first at high-contrast and brightly colored areas. Bright-but-white / yellow light doesn't draw my attention.

Magnificent photo.

I think it would benefit from simplifying.

NO, NO, NO...clone out the rear building and print that puppy. ;)

That had me confused until I realized you meant that little bit of roof sticking over the top. I really hadn't noticed it, but now that I see it, I agree that would be a good change. So, while you're at it ... ;) ... you could do a Transform > Skew and pull the upper right corner out just a bit to get that wall straight with the right edge of the image.

Nice picture, by the way!

Beautiful capture! In addition to taking out the background roof, another possible edit to give it a bit more depth ...

Looks HDR. I would crop the sky out altogether. The sky is very blue and although it's a small part of the image, it's a whole different element. IMO, I think the photo would look better if it only included the building to frame around the cross and everything below.
Otherwise, good shot!
