Interesting image, well spotted. The colour and texture of the brick wall make your eye rove around the wall, and the little circular items almost but not quite have a repeating pattern. The lantern has turned out nicely as well, the gradual changes of colours and the shades in the glass make it a nice counterpoint.

If it were me, and you can take this or leave it, I would crop out the concrete section at the bottom of the wall. It distracts me.

I agree 100%. The texture of the concrete really does not belong in the picture. Great shot! Not thinking of submitting it for this month contest?

Thanks guys. I was back and forth on that. I'll try a fresh crop of it.

For what it's worth, I sorta like the concrete. When you crop it out, you'll have less of the pole showing as well which I think isn't good for the composition. But no doubt no concrete will make it a more simple composition and because of that, maybe more dramatic. I love Seattle - the exterior walls are great. I love the colors in your photo. Thanks for posting.

I took these wall photos in Seattle (hope you don't mind me sharing):
