I like the angle of this one better EDV. I can imagine someone standing there. Very good photo. You might want to look at Les' (purmusic) link to luminosity masking on Owd Timers post. Here is the link. I tried it on one of mine and I liked the outcome. Have a good weekend.
This has such character. The composition is great.
I realize it's part of the structure, but removing the drain/down pipe on the far building tends to naturalize the ancient architecture and removes a distracting influence. You'd have to remove it to see what a substantial difference it makes to the overall scene.
Ed - I think I like this one better - perhaps it is the more traditional angle of the photograph. I'll say it again - the lighting in your photos is exceptional. Thad
