Block & Cleaver

This is from a series of shots I did in downtown Kingston. It was a challenge to get the crop where I wanted it, and had to play with the vertical lens correction a bit.

Beautiful shot!!! As for a critique, I will give it a shot. FYI, I am a novice photographer and my technical skills suck, so take my critique with a grain of salt.

The image is not level horizontally and the reflection in the right window is alittle distracting from the great lettering across the bottom. Other than that, its a great shot. I love the sepia (monochrome) you shot this in.

Thanks for your feedback. I levelled it across the bottom, but it remained slightly skewed at the top. I had to look up to get this shot and flattened it using Lightroom. This may be just my lack of LR skills at this point. If someone has an idea how to fix this I'd love to learn.

I'd go with the idea that the building is not level

I like the sepia toning and the repeating pattern. the reflection is a nice surprise too
my nit is that the right of the sign is cut off

Thanks Bambi. It was a tough shot to set up for. It's along a row of several stores and shops and I didn't want edge of the next building creeping into the frame. I'll play with the crop a bit and see what I can do.

I quite like this. I agree w/AT about the top leveling, it's a distraction to my eye.
I really dig the sepia treatment here, but I find the contrast could be upped for more pop. I don't see enough pure white or pure black here.
