There is a photo posted on this thread much better than this from Manchester, England. This is from Manchester, Iowa. I set my sights, low. An older colleague used to play basketball above the drug store/1950s ice cream parlor in the 1950s/ There was no 1950s ice cream parlor in the 1950s. Recently he told me he played with Don Nelson at Iowa when on the freshman U of Iowa team - former Celtics coach. But his basketball hx started upstairs of the taller building. The sun was setting circa Nov. 4, 2020. I thought it was cool. It was hand held. It isn't great. It's just okay.

You are correct, it is a very nice. In addition I believe it was Will Rogers who stated; " I never met an ICE CREAM Parlor I didn't like."

The color has some character. The light is nice and I wonder how much of an upgrade would you get from a composition plane parallel to the building.

I didn't say nice, it's just okay. But the historical museum in Manchester England, now that was nice!

It is interesting, particularly the reflections in the windows. And I like the story behind it.

An image from a small town in the US. The sort of photo that starts to tell the story of the town. I suspect you could make the image pop a bit more with PP, but not sure it needs it.
