A Clean, Well-Lighted Alley

 

Downtown Yangyang

No matter how new and shiny the shop fronts on a road are, the alleys rarely get any sort of update.  Why spend money on what most people don't see? That said, in this alley, the building on the right has white siding and the buildings on the right have been given a coat of white paint. 

The lines in the siding lead the eye to the point of interest in the background. The shed (or whatever) is also the brightest part of the picture, which helps to draw the eye. My favourite part of the photo is the bit of wire in the lower left that mirrors the lines of the siding. It fills a bit of blank space and points the viewer towards the focal point. I think my composition here was influenced by what I learned from Ian Roberts' painting channel on YouTube.
