wow, amazing photo, beautiful at that!!

This is a really beautiful photo: very well composed, and with very nice light. But I think the rain drops (if they rain drops) on the lens are quite distracting. Why don't you try removing them in Photoshop?

Thanks for the compliment alerizzo, in my understanding, I cannot manipulate partially using photoshop for the competition and I kinda like the "bokeh" effect by the raindrop

hey, I loved that bokeh effect, its adding beauty to the image

Beautiful capture author.
I would crop the bottom of the frame,right on the diagonal curve of the concrete bench (leading line) to be technically perfect IMHO.

Totally agree with Karaflazz and the image is updated

Love the contrast ... interesting take, seeing a sunny day in black and white (I am assuming it is a sunny day as people are lying in the shade

Interesting effect, not sure if I like seeing a daytime photo so dark.

I miss this view!!! *sigh*

I like the effect. A sort of Truffaut day-for-night. Nicely done. Fit's well with the theme, as it actually looks like it was taken with an old camera. GL!

Those tiles are made in sweden! *proud* i like the lines but the photo could need som more brightness.

great shot, but too dark.

looks like you took this on a bad day.

Not really a closeup

yeah i was only in sydney for a couple of hours that day before i left cant change the weather

the theme calls for close up shots of the materials used, not the wall itself.

The first line in the contest reads as "This contest is about structures. Not buildings".

Sorry author, but it's obvious this is a building.

picture changed guys, hope this is a better option

better shot, but still too dark and lacking in contrast.

I was going to say the same thing, Friiskiwi. Play with the contrast or curves.

not a close up
