Curves

Germany (and the world) is full of these nice man/nature -- hard/soft -- new/old contrasts. Once in a while, I get lucky and capture it successfully. Thanks for thinking this is one of those times.

I like the vertical lines on the surfaces. The green across two sides frames it nicely.

If anything, I'd be tempted to crop some off the bottom - it'd stop the bottom half being exlcusively dark, and the top half exclusively lighter. Perhaps line it up along the rule of thirds?

Thanks Matthew for your suggestion. This is the full frame from my 3:4 3.2MP point-n-shoot, and I never thought to crop it smaller. I often overlook simple cropping that make my photos stronger. Thanks
