2.25 - "Needs Work" 

Long exposure outside the local movie theatre. The bricks are actually yellow in real life, I've been asked before so I figured I'd answer here preemptively. Critiques welcome.

I'm sure someone else will be thinking this, but because it's an architectural facade, the vertical lines should all be perfectly vertical. Correcting the perspective distortion would make this a lot stronger image. Te lights are also a little too hot for me.

I went into Lightroom and made all the vertical lines vertical, honestly didn't change the picture, and, this is just my opinion, I kind of prefer the slightly off kilter look in this specific photo. For most architectural work I agree, it looks much better. Thanks for commenting.
