I like the contrasting shadows under the seating... appealing complimentary color of yellow/blue... good angle... is that the guy from the Simpsons on the TV Screen in the back ??? Warm Winter Blessings, Alec

It does look like the Simpsons, Cheryl but it's not. Sharp eye. Thanks for coming.

Alec, as ever, you work inspires and challenges me. I think previous posters have more or less said it all about this lovely image. A very creative take that accentuates the building's architectural lines beautifully. My suggestions would be:

1. Lighten the lower right-hand corner of the image, particularly the shadows under the seats.

2. Darken the screen. Cloning out would be a 'misrepresentation', but as it is now, the screen is pretty bright and to my eye at least, competes for attention with the rest of the composition

But that's just IMHO ;)

Thanks for coming Mark. I actually darken the foreground below the seats as there are splotches of wet stains which looks unappealing. (See further ground color on the left of image.) Darkening the TV screen may make it less obvious to the eye but it didn't bother me until Sheryl mentioned it. ^_^
