 Old townhouse whose days are numbered. It will probably be replaced by condos or office space.

after challenge:

Scored poorly but got a little attention so I'm fine with the results. This was inspired by the painter Mark Rothko. The colors and shapes immediately reminded me of his work.

I'm not that familiar with Rothko (enough to recognize the colors) but what makes this for me is the shadow of the tree. Where the tree has been bent by the elements, the shadow stands straight and tall. Poignant in a way.

This photo arrested my eye, so I'm surprised to find it so far down in the queue. Not sure how I feel about the frame.

This works abstractly for me. The shapes, color. Really like this one.
