Such elaborate architecture, and rather beautiful. A nice observation with the lone passer by sauntering past. Was Pharoah at home today?

A curious decoration for this house.
I like the shot: light, color, moment. The man crossing adds movement.

Interesting framing James, although cropping and rotating slightly might have made more impact!

Special composition of a strange place. Lively by the walking man. All with a touch of humour.

Very well seen. The apartment building is interesting on its own. Capturing the passerby adds life to the image.

Such an interesting design to the entrance, the gent walking by adds a lot to the shot, as does the darkness in the entrance way adding some sense of mystery, Superb capture

Great capture. I agree about the building...it's looks rather unfriendly.

To be honest it looks like the Temple of Doom, but a wonderful capture nonetheless.
