Comments are greatly appreciated.

Well-done B&W shot! I would have cropped the pavement a little

a great shot

Very nice. I would probably crop a little of the brick in front, but I love it.

I saw it, I read it - yes, the floor in front is catching too much attention. Its funny, I come from Lionels picture, www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2657965, posted my www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2613267, and now the impressive invitation by your photo! RE

great!!!!!!!

Beautiful shades of grey! But crop the pavement in the foreground.

Hi everyone! I hope you like the cropped version better than the other one.

Thanks, Sondra

Great composition. Cgrts!

Very nice shot with great perspective effect.

I love the depth in this one, Sondra. I in fact like the original brick forground in the front as it invits me to step in to the picture. IMHO, one big improvement would be using a wide focal length (around 28-35mm) to emphasize the depth further, giving you a near/far reference. Still works as is though. ^_^

Very good comp and tones. Top rates.

Classic!

I love the image. I would not crop the pavement in the foreground as I think it adds to the flow of the eye through the image.

Hi! I saw your cropped version and compared it to this. This is waaay better. The cropped version lacks one of the most important features of this photo - three dimentionality. Without it (aka the cropped one) it is nothing but beautiful shapes and lighting.

Great photo with very good composition and nice perpsective !

Thanks, to all of you for your kind words. Sondra
