City Competition 1 2014 - all cities! : Entry Number 245

This images strong compositional elements held our view long enough for the building's hidden smile to be discovered. Even though there are no people in the image, we feel their presence, and perhaps even the life personified in the building. The images stands on its own merits of color and composition, however we felt the creative extra vision of finding the hidden face brought this to the top.

Thank you. My name is Robert Robertson, I took this photo at the end of a city lane in Melbourne, Aust. - using an Olympus OMD EM1 and a 75mm Oly lens. I did a minimal amount of tweaking in Adobe Camera Raw. That building at the end of the lane speaks to me every time I walk by........
