This is just beautiful. I am bothered a bit though by the partial window on the left; I would have cropped that out. Other than that it's just lovely.

Great colors, George. Though I would rotate CCW a bit and crop from the left.

the color is awesome!how would that look in shanghai? it must be an exquisite building among other grey ones....
what i've done:horizontal > cropped left blue part to make the colorful elements merged in this mostly yellow composition > cut the bottom,to make a proper inverse proportion between wall and ground....

since it's unable to post ws,i load it somewhere,
here my ws

wish u would like it

sincerely,
xu

Excelent shot, George.
Beautiful composition of colorful elements, perfectly and very nicely composed together. Very pleasant colors. It is a photographers paradise, indeed.

Nice photo George!

You have a good eye, spottig this shot. The buildings are always painted in very nice and vibrant colors- which really does make them photo friendly. The door, window, and bikes are nicely framed against the beige/tan wall.
Nicely done!

Great and very colorful study! I like the warmness of the colors. My only suggestion would be to crop the left side of the photo, where the blue building is. This would really make the shot more unified and would tighten-up the composition just a little.

Wonderful composition of colours, well managed light and fine details! The deep warm brown, the intense blue and the soft yellow are just magnificent in combination. Excellent capture George!

a very good picture ( composition , light , colors , subject . )
you have just to adjust a drop for the perfect vertical .

Very beautiful composition, a picture rich in details, would have to cross can be the blue wall has left but likes the position of all the elements which composes the photograph, beautiful work.

A nice composition George with a lot of contrasting colors. The different textures composing your picture are splendid especially the door and the wall. The photograph seems to be not completely horizontal.

Linda imagem, a composi誽o, as cores, a nitidez, o contraste, um belo momento. Na minha opini緌 eu cortaria um pouco do ch緌 e da casa a esquerda. Cumprimentos. Tony.

A like this shot with the fine details and the very attractive colours. Well composed even if maybe I would have cropped a bit to the left and the 'edge' in the bottom. Anyway very attractive overall impression.

talk about a feast for the eyes! Gorgeous colors and lots to look at! Nice job!

Beautiful colors again. If the white spots
above the window and above the door are lightbulbs,
the place should be very nice at night too.

wow! there are some really nice and happy colors in this picture. a slight tilt in the picture, but that's just fine :)
