Comment from Lisa Davey
This a wonderful display of new meets old. The graffiti tagging doesn't really seem to take away from this ancient structure, as one would expect. Although it is from a completely different era, it seems to add a shabby chic grunge quality to the building's decaying wall. Great composition, clarity and lighting all help to make this a really cool shot!

Comment from Easton Bay
This image is striking and has quite a few textural components - cement, metal, rock, and wood. Did I miss any?
The detail is sharp and the colors bright. It appears to be part of a rough or impoverished neighborhood.

At first glance I immediately love the textures within the image then realised it was an contest entry so should do well. Composition is great with good color and focus.

As far as texture goes this on steals the pot. I wonder whats behind the green door. That rock wall needs a little plastering. The best of luck in the contest. Ray

Thanks for sharing this old shutter picture and surroundings. The cracking plaster or block definitely has texture as does the old shutter. Best wishes in the contest.

Interesting and colourful design. I like how you captured this photo. Your composition and use of light is well done. The colours of the door look like an abstract painting. Well done
