yeah, still trying to shoot something that I like enough to enter.
Some like frames, some don't - I add them when I feel they help the image but not as a default. to me, this shot need to stand off the background a little - hence the frame. I might pull the title off, though.
give me your thoughts

I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

very appropriate title! what a rough place! looks like place that could be full of interesing photos. Since you have this mostly centered, you might want to crop a little off the left to completely center it. You know what might make a neat crop (and not necessarily for this challenge), I say this because of the debris in front of it and along the sidewalk, I'd be interested to see a crop just above the arch, along the right side of the door, and leave everything to the left of that. Anyways, I like this! you gotta a good eye! probably two of them.

Thanks, I'll play with the crop ideas.

That was my original idea with the door centered. I'll play with a square crop. Good thought that I hadn't tried.
Interesting that I have recommendations for both rule-of-thirds type cropping and symetrical centering. Thanks for the great feedback and ideas, everyone!!!

I would also go for the assymetrical crop, it makes it more vivid in my humble opinion. Or if you go square, make sure it is all straight and OkiPoki in the middle. I think centering would work better in square format.
It is a great shot, I would have taken it too I think if I would have seen it.
It calls out! Great job...

Gorgeous. This must've been a really amazingly beautiful building in its hayday.
On the C&C side -- not much to say that others haven't said.

I'm submitting a "mostly" square version of this shot. If you look at the original that I posted, there are powerlines cutting across the top. I didn't say anything about them when I posted the shot - I wanted to see if anyone might comment on them. I couldn't find a camera position that would let me avoid them. They sort of blended in in the finished shot but they bothered me.
A true square crop looked good but the powerlines were stuck in the shot. It would've been a killer clone job to remove them.
Anyway, submitted as mostly square.
