Good exposure control and level of detail.
I also like the framing of the distant tower between the uprights.

This in my opinion is one of those images that the photographer goes crazy trying to take.....The head talk goes like this....need to get the base of the arch in the photo....need to get the arch in the photo, need to get the background building in the photo so that it plays a major rule to the image...I see the struggle....Nice processing and I put you on the plus side for the work you did. 6

Very nice composition. Good color as well. The crop could be a little better. The peak of the right arch is right at the top of the photo. It makes it look like the border is being held up by the arch.

Beautiful shot. Like the way you framed the church in the background. I wish you had been able to capture the entire arch in the frame.

I really like the color in this photograph, and how it composed. Nothing that shows me it is an abandoned building, but I'll take your word for it. Well done!

I feel it would look much better if the arches were completed.

I like the framing in this shot, plus the tiny amount of color of the turquoise storefronts and the rust tile roofs breaks it up slightly.

Beautiful shot with nice framing. I think it might be even more dramatic if you boosted the contrast, but it came out really well as it is.
