thats a sweet shot, im diggin it!=)

Very good work. I like the composition and the desat effect.

You need a bit more space to the right or less to the left to make the compo 100% balanced imo Anyway, I really like the geometry and desat.

in light of what has just happened here in Charleston, this one is special to me. i might agree with Cigaro, moving the camera more to the right would be a perfect balance but this is a good shot. the red is the icing

If you had included the full door frame then it would have worked for me.
As it stands and if you dont have the image with the doorframe, you could crop the image from the right including cropping the sign. Ending up with a square format image..

Very nice desaturaiton and composition!....very good image!

thanks for the crits =) I'll be thinking more about the framing when i'll be taking a shot like this one next time!

Wow, very cool! Sometime ago, I might've stolen it and put it into my urban photo collection I'd be proud to have it there!;D

Beautiful composition and desaturation. Very well done +10

Very clean work.
I love desaturation effect and composition..

A lifestyle related photograph presenting the fire hydrants' slick bright color offset by the gritty surroundings. White spaces create a flow from left to right, as they become framed by the concrete work. Although having the door cut off isn't exactly successful, since the white space above it leads the eye off frame. If this were done as part of a series with a path that follows that found above door in this photograph, would have been an interesting and creative solution.

Love good desaturation work!

This is surely one!

Even stronger if the full door post was included but it still renders +9!

Agree about the door..... Still a very good image!
John

nice composition also agree about the door ...

Desat works very well. Compositionis nice but could be even better if you had done something different with the door.
Don

agree with all of the above !!! What i like is how U have kept the verticals right in this shot !!! +9

Very artistic in my opinion. Simple, and elegant shot!
Very good work.

I agree with dakoo agreeing what has been said

It's a strong piece, very nice composition,
great balance in the rectangular shapes

+ 9

I agree with Wallace, who agrees with dakoo, who agrees with all of the above
Seriously, without flogging the composition again, this is one of the best uses of desat that I've seen in a long time. I love it! Wish I'd thought of it
Love the textures, verticals, horizontals... awesome!

beautiful atmosphere here! ... that is really an art to make a picture like this, simple scene with rectangular shapes taken to life
