This in Texarkana, TX downtown town I took photo. It's been awhile I take picture and I finally got my didgial camera I brought off on here. Let me know what yout hink of this? Everytime people come in photos store as I was wiating for cashier find my other photos, many people including co-workers there really love my photo and want to buy it. What do you guys think of this? let me know or do I need to change anything? i changed to little fade color.

I like the faded, old feel. There are a lot of angles and textures in the photo. I might have prefered a crop that was a little less "tight" that showed the bottom of the stairs, but that's just my opinion.

I like the tones and the composition enough, but I feel it's very flat. With all that texture, I would add more contrast :)

Kelly,
The image does not do much for me, but I like your version better. I guess the issue that bothers me, like rockpics, is I can not see the bottom of the steps. I am thinking seeing that might invite me into the photograph. Not sure if you have more than you are showing here but it might be worth looking at a different crop. I like the look. The abandon feel.
I will respect your wish to not edit your picture but if I was going to I would edit the top of the picture at the top of the door on the left or higher side. And include the bottom of the stairs if you have it.

No biggie it happens all the time. You did the right thing and removed it.

Flatness aside (I think that was the goal of the PP).

Looks crooked & is truncated at some points (which realy impacts the entire composition).

I do not see any theme or subject of particular interest.

I realzed that I didn't fix the edit part. I don't mind people give ideas and all that. I dind't crop anything. I guess I need to do again and do botton of stairs to see more. I am glad some of people like it. I really like it. I will do again and re-post later this week. Thanks for your liking this! :D

The photo didn't really do anything for me but many people have many different tastes. I often find that friends and family love photos I was going to throw away. We see flaws and are looking for specific things while non photographers are more apt to just enjoy an image. This might help explain why you think you should change something you see in the photo but if random people are enjoying the way it is then perhaps it is already how it should be and being enjoyed as is. .

Well I guess this is no point for me to conitue this thread, then. Thanks for your honest.
