Nice shot. The colours are great and so is the distortion.

Like I said, I think you may be right about the flipping part, but I have decided against it, because of the slightly documentary quality of this shot. Also, flipping renders the lettering over the door obviously mirrored as well...
Great shot, good composition, good color and very well developed. I hope you don't mind but I did a horizonal flip and it seems much more powerful. I don't know what it is, but sometimes things seem more correct right to left, I have no idea why?

Thanks for your input RK! I guess you are touting a vertical instead? I see how that could work as well. You've also made me see another possibility: cropping down to a square, keeping only the rightmost part of the image.
Including both the lamp and flowers in the sprinkling cans was actually what I was hunting when I shot this. The challenge was how to tie them together and I felt the diagonal line of the sandstone cornice did that rather well. Two centers of interest is especially hard - it has to be an obvious dialogue to be successful. You may be right about the lamp being more of a distraction than a positive addition to the story of the shot - I am undecided as of right now...
