Fantastic Image,

Looks like a fascinating place! Lots of hidden history there, I'm sure. Wonderful shot!

again, we see your vivid work with hues and shapes, everything stands out, making this a dance. Also, wonderful detail in the gritty stone ledge, the sidewalk, the post holding up the sentry, the mat to the far left, and the stoop on the far right...this makes fine contrast to the signs. You have some glass here too--the only displays with 'ambiguity' in them (because of reflections); and the signs make a pastiche, with that ultra yellow one behind the senty---a kind of center to the image (along with the white next to it). The sentry is but one element in this beautiful doll-house image (and it looks out, as if providing you with a perfect 'out-looking' vector). I could look at your shots of streets and architecture all day. Love it.
Do you know Berenice Abbott? She did lots of street photography during the Depression years. Well, here are two examples of her 'sign' work, as she came to mind, when viewing your photo...
