Greetings from the Critique Club!
This is a beautiful composition! It has a lovely, nostalgia to it, not only from the sepia tones but because of the cobblestones, and architecture. The sepia really suits it well and enhances the overall effect. Good choice!
The perspective is a good one. Nice that you have a person in there too. Gives it life.
Seeing the little bit of a branch in the upper right adds a bit of charm as well.
I honestly can't find anything I don't like about this at all. You did a beautiful job and I like this very much.
Not sure about the sepia - and I know Elm Hill very well indeed: used to drink round there often, a few years ago.Like the text and bordering though, and nice to see the place here.
I love the focus and clarity you have here. I also like the angle and framing/cropping you chose to capture this at. Looks like it was taken out a window in another building or something. Kind of a "looking down" on the scene. That is really nice. I wonder why you went with the mud color? Still a nice shot. ~Heather~
Very postcardy, and technically speaking a beautiful shot. The only thing that kept it at 9 and not 10 for me was a lack of a certain spung, that magic 'Wow!' spark. But I have to save 10s for *something*, right? :->
This is an excellent image... I love the quaint city setting and the empty streets and walkways... I think the toning is just a bit heavy though... excellent image :)
