      I really like this symmetry and the colors are great. What a cool building.

      this picture is beautiful mainly by the fact that the colors are strong and alive!
      especially the blue tones!

      I agree with lovedc in that I like the symmetry on this pic.
      Sorry but I don't really like the blues. They do seem a tad too oversaturated. Also the Maroon in the centre. I would have tried to reduce the exposure a bit to get richer colours instead of notching up saturation by that much.

      I like the stronge colors here , the bright red grabs your attention right away . The symmetry looks great here and i like the composition , the blues add balance too the image :)

      the saturation of colors look good and the fact that your composition preserved the symmetry of the building.. good one

      Great use of high contrast and saturation! There are some really intense colors going on here, but you managed to preserve the gritty look of the building, which I like.

      The symmetrical composition is eye-catching and strong. Looking at the rest of your stream, it looks like you have a good eye for composition, so that's no surprise. =) I also like the way the red and the blue play off each other to make each seem that much more intense. You've given this old building new life.

      Can't really think of anything I would change, good work.

      I've walked by here many times, and I can never manage to get a good shot - I need a wider-angle! I love what you've done with it.

      This was my school from kindergarten thru second grade. Thank you so much for the beautiful picture. I visited this building on the first day of school one year ago. Walked down memory lane.
