The first time I went to New York, I wanted a shot of the wonderful fire escapes. I searched all over the island and came up with this one. I have been back since but still rate this as my favourite. The colours and shapes make it for me.

I like this. I think it's a neat find. You've composed it very well with light, shadows, and your centering of the shot. The fire escape is interesting itself but I love the building color and architectural trim too. I also enjoyed viewing the variety in the window coverings.

What fancy brickwork. You've found a great pattern here, I especially like the shadows of the stairs that echo down the wall

Wonderful symmetry in the way you cropped the image. Ditto on both BJ's and Dreamer's comments. A very fine shot!

Great shot with a strong red color in it. You have captured a nice photograph with a simple, everyday subject. Nice work.

Great shot! I agree, nice colours, patterns and play with light and shadow. I like your framing too, very relevant to the subject. Thanks for posting it!

Saw this in featured images and thought it was a great presentation. I love the angle you chose and the composition. The clarity and coloring were perfect. I too liked the shadow play on the wall. Excellent photo.
