I like the shot. I think what distracts is the horizon that is not level.
I would take the same shot a bit more angled to the right (so the buildings disappear at the horizon) and I would get the horizon perfectly level.
Hi Marc, very nice color and texture on the brick and small stones in the foreground, but the top third of the shot appears a little cluttered to me.
Regards,
Richard.
Claudio,
You are exactly right. And between now and deadline if I come up with something better I'll replace this. It needs another element. A structure or even a flower growing. The brick draws you in but just leaves you there.
