Great portrait aspect, and definately askew in angle. I wouldn't do a thing to this sweetheart. I also enjoyed the great variation in LIGHT TO DARK. Details in the background are nicely exposed - while the "Street Lighting" in the foreground balances out nicely. Well done Rick!

Very nicely composed Rick. However the distortion although intentional does bother me on images like this. As Gill points out the beautiful play of light trumps the distortion.

Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

Rick, the bit of distortion, crooked stairs, uncorrected angles work well here. They put us just a little off center, give that extra needed interest. The mix of lighting is great, too.

Rick,

Yeah, I have a suggestion..., leave it just the way it is! The best part of this photo is the lighting at lower right. Great eye to see this and capture it in such a compelling way. Great job, congratulations on POD. Most deserving.
