The ONLY thing I would change is to maybe photoshop out the streetlight on the right, otherwise it's perfect.

i've considered take out the lamp-post, and at the time of taking the picture framed it in b/c nothing else looked good (see how close the tip of the tower is to the top of the frame?). Besides, I rarely do such extensive work to a print of my own. The most I'll do is a bit of cropping and dust/scratch removal if needed, and of course curves and sharpening (also if needed).

Very Nice I really enjoyed the composition of the photo. The palms on the left and pine on the right it is almost a clash of nature with a human building in the center Very good it is worthy

An interesting image, the greyscale makes it look very interesting and gives it an old look. I'd suggest a bit of a crop though, because the lamppost kills the mood a bit in my opinion. But an overall interesting image

i thought about cropping out the lamppost, but it doesn't look right. I think it stays out of the way nicely, so i kept it. ty for the input.

I really like this....it -does- have an "old" quality to it, and also a very medieval/fantasy feel. Excellent shot!

The grain works in this photo It could use a little more contrast though

Wonderful shot - has a great old time postcard feel to it and the b/w and grain really add to that
