Hi?Andrew?
What an interesting brick work! Looks like the building has been patched up a few times. I like the patterns and various colors of the bricks; the legacy of the bygone era. I think it's perfect as is. The green bar on the righthand side provides a contrast and balance for the composition. Thanks for sharing.   Posted: 11/09/2024 18:53:50

Wow Andrew, this image has a little of everything. I like the green, it sort of looks tarnished and adds a nice contrast. I my opinion it was cropped perfectly and I can not think of a thing I would change. Except, I wish I would have taken it. Thanks Andrew.   Posted: 11/11/2024 03:34:09

Hi Andrew, I think this is a really nice image. The colors are very nice. I like the vibrance and the crop. Would it be possible, though, to add a bit more space to the top left plant so it doesn't look cut off at the edge? If not, then maybe remove some of the plant at the edge and add in bricks so it doesn't appear cut off. Also, can you straighten the bricks along the bottom edge, possibly using Lightroom Transform, but still keep the long metal bars level?   Posted: 11/17/2024 18:14:57

Love this. Love that it is beautifully broken. Colors are great - the texture of the brick and that green is striking. I really like the way it is and I see the beam at the top is level. I always get comments on my falling down buildings are not straight. I might try to crop it on the right to the line in the brick wall. The black vertical beam pulls my eye and it might stay in the picture more bouncing between the green circles.   Posted: 11/19/2024 17:23:40

Hi Andrew, this is an interesting photograph. The colours work well and seem to bounce off of each other. I think the square crop would work well and as Catherine has said, it would remove the other distractions and centre our vision.   Posted: 11/24/2024 02:35:15

Thanks for all the comments, I have slightly straightened it but guess I need to think about the verticals as well. There is no more room at the top to include more plant. I also removed the wire at the top right hand side. Not sure about a tighter crop.   Posted: 11/24/2024 10:30:06

Andrew, this is interesting and I think either "as is" or cropped to square would work. Now I played with cropping a little on the left and then some on the right resulting in the doorway being more on the left.The result is not much different but differently balanced.

The others in the group have great comments.   Posted: 11/25/2024 01:58:09
