    I love it,

    Usually I would think that shadow area is too underexposed but in this case I like the contrast between light and dark. I would maybe think about cropping it in an inch from the right as that triangular roof is a little distracting but its a nice picture

    Definitely crop the right, I love the wonky street light which doesn't want to conform to the rest of image.

    Chris,

    Thanks for the comments, I agree about the crop but kept the roof in as it added to the line theme.

    I like it John. That triangle on the RHS is a bit distracting but if you crop it you will also lose some of the plants which (IMO) add to the scene and you will get a strange aspect ratio. So, it is difficult to say if it is better to crop or not, without seeing it.

    Great shot, I'm going to be contrary to popular choice & say please don't crop on the rt.
    I think it all fits with the narrative of the photo and the title.
    The lines there, for me work with the black lines on the building above, it send me then back into the image, where the strong shadow line is & the paint stone lines.
    Lots to see here.
