This is, without the shadow of a doubt, one of the most intriquing photos I have ever seen. There are those who might wonder why I am so really fond of this image. To satisfy the curiosity of those searching for the beauty I see, get your notepad ready. Composition is well-balanced; there is a lead-in stream (yellow line) that leads one to the left and alternatively to the right, meeting in a common space, the point of interest, the alleyway where mystery lurks. There is a curiosity, too, that overpowers the basic beauty of the image and causes the viewer's eyes to search for more, or to put it another way, read between the lines. Summarily, after viewing pleasing lines, textures, bricks, asphalt, a curbing partitioned with a gutter, posts, a bungled corner that suggests collision with an auto, blue doors, one green door, odd angles, etc, I must say I would like to make it the subject of a watercolor. And I would be honored if you would permit me to add this to my online journal of Art Photographs. Thanks for your comments on my work. You are too kind. My regards, Rob
