No, Ithis is an excellent image, The setting is perfect. How the bricks almost seem to come right out the screen. I think you capture the full persetive, emotional equevilant to being there. You have managed to catch the myjesty, the abandonment and the mystic all in one shot. Great work I like it :-) Spirit :-)

Incluyendo cualquier retoque que tenga la imagen, es absolutamente bellisima. El contraste de texturas y el punto de vista es perfecto. Un trabajo fenomenal!!!
