I like how the photo was shot from down below. It shows the perspective from an onlooker. The light gives it a bit more substance and contrast against the sky fading and the building.

I love how all the lights are on and how the lights are on. It tells a story like I could almost walk straight into this picture, I could walk into a different time.

Like the photo above, I love the warm lighting on the inside. It reminds me of of a cold winter's night and makes me wonder what's happening inside.

The picture is arranged so nicely using the rule of thirds. I also appreciate the black and white effect.

The straight lines add such a nice touch against the sky. It's very symmetrical and I love the chimney on the lefthand side.

This building looks like there are so many stories that took place in it. I am also a very big fan of the two flags and lamp posts on either side. It is also very symmetrical. It look like it is caught in the moment absolutely perfectly. My favorite part of this photo is the composition.

The way te light shines in really makes this picture stand out.

The royal blue against the strong angles of the building is beautiful. It looks like there was a very long shutter speed giving it silky, sharp look. However, what really makes this photo unique to me is the angles and perspective from which it was shot. It shows the strong angles and elements of the building.

It looks like this was shot in the blink of an eye from an ordinary onlooker. I don't really like the lighting because it looks very fake almost like a painting; however, I do like how it captured the buildings, streets, and people.

This is one of my favorites. Each curtain is positioned differently. It is so clean, cut, and the overall composition and layout is one of my favorites.
