Hi Steve,
I like this shot for the quality of light it has. You've taken a simple straight forward composition and made it especially appealing. The bright yellow area of the building is well contrasted and complimented by the deep blue sky. The building itself is interesting too with the srap angles and curved area at the upper right. Nice, sharpness overall and details especially the lettering.

Masterful display of light, Steve. Truly awesome!
And that's not the only thing in the picture, by far NOT. This is not as simple as it all looks. There's actually an awful lot to look at & admire in your effort, from great unusual geometrics to perfect definition, just to name a couple things.
For those who want to see it, of course...
To me this shot is TOP NOTCH!
Cheers,
Fulvio.

Hi Steve,
The most striking part her is that yellow and blue against each other. A strong battle, but i think this time thew yellow wins here. I am not really fond of that 1.8 Canon lens, but what i see here is really good work on the exposure and sharpness as can be seen in the bricks on the red wall. A strong image in the composition and color...great..!!!
Regards, Henk
