Since we can't comment on pictures directly, here I am with a crit for Irv.

I like Irv's picture the best, but I am wondering if it could be a bit better if it were cropped to just show two of the doors (the top two including the graffiti?) and if it the verticals and horizontals were parallel.

Interesting building you spotted there Irv ;)

Thanks H
I noticed initially because of the repeating pattern thats why all the doors are in there and honestly you don't know how long I was trying to sort out the horizontals/verticals with perpsective control and skew control in cs3 :-[

Horizontals and verticals - DXO is what you need my friend, DXO.  ;)

It's the RAW editor I use because it was the only one I could afford  :D

But it is brilliant at optical corrections.
