Great picture. Where is this building?

Maybe that is the point of the photo. There requires nothing perfect in order to make a decent picture, and the reason I was so captivated by this building in the first place is the fact that it is so broken and bruised. It is symmetrical, yes, and perhaps, at one time, it was beautiful. But today, it is one of the more rundown statures in the metallic, developed city of Atlanta. It's almost as though I want to have pity on it, but I revel in its battered history instead.

There is nothing perfect about this photo. Just another run down building.

Trite!

I used to know a nurse named Julia Purcell--I don't know if you are the same person or not. But this is a beautiful photograph. Thank you for submitting it.

stunning composition

Julia, you've done it again - great job capturing the brilliant colors and shapes. I've told you before you have a wonderful eye for pictures - very proud of you.
Love, Aunt Nancy

This is perfect...the angles and color contrast are phenomenal. The leading lines and contrast of the windows and staircases are also great. EXCELLENT WORK!

GREAT JOB! I love the rigid burnt color of this vintage-looking building. Great job with angles and shapes. Very pleasing on the eye!
