    Imagine what a picture title can do to direct the eyes for clues. Nice subject and post-processing, Tony. I like the placement though I wish that the #60 is a little more to the left for more impact. Like it! thumb.gifthumbthumb.gif

    Plenty to catch the eye in this , but I am curious about the door frame on the bottom right,maybe an unfinished paint job?

    I dunno. It's not a result of processing on my part. I didn't really
    notice it. It could be a reflection from the sidewalk or a paint job
    in progress or the sun's bleaching of the rest of the door. It could
    be wetness. It rained hard earlier in the day; you can see droplets
    on the windows.

    The studio is on a very slanted street, and that's the reason the
    sidewalk is at an angle.

    FWIT - I really like the view through the door, the panes above, the white wall and 60 - I would, however, have lost the rest as I find it distracting from, rather than adding to, the great image on the right.

    As usual, I played around with different crops before settling on this.
    While I see the doorway view the strength of this image, it bothered
    me to have that triangle of sidewalk at the bottom and a horizontal
    at the top of the door. It looked like the perspective needed
    correction.

    Including the other window seemed to minimize the problem, but
    I'm not at all sure if I made the right choice.

    That's why, as I've said so many times, I post here. I want to see
    the image as others see it.

    I agree-- the window pane on the left is unnecessary. We can already guess that this is some sort of ballet/dance school by the appearance of the girls through the window. This might be a perfect opportunity for the (dun dun DAA!) square crop.

    In my head, square crop has it's own fanfare. Don't ask why. :D

    I'm thirding a crop in this instance. Square from the right seems to be the best compromise even if it leaves in some of the windows in the middle in place. That section makes a nice image.

    ? The size is 1800 x 1714. That's close enough for government work as
    a square crop. A smaller square would cut off the door top or bottom.

    I have never been averse to non-standard ratios, and often square crop.

    Odd. It looks less square than it is. Never mind, then!
