A picture I took of an old street in my city.

That looks like a European city; most buildings in Europe do look older, because, well, they are. I've seen six hundred year old buildings with Internet cafés on the first floor.

But they're certainly not "decayed," just a little weathered.

Thank you. And sorry but no... That day I took the camera to take pictures of friends of mine because of this special event that was happening at the university so yeah... I just saw that street and thought it would make a good photo.

Real nice, but the blockade seems to bother me a bit

Good quality and colors though, nice

Somehow I just don't see what everyone likes about this pic. Sky is blown out while other parts of the photo are underexposed, colors are weird (like crappy film camera (not necessary bad, but I don't like it)), composition also could be better.

Interesting subject, yes, but as I see it it's pretty bad photo.

It was meant to be a random snapshot, actually, thus the composition not being so good which I admit is true.

And as for the sky, as much as I tried changing the exposure, the sky would look good but you couldn't even see the streets and as you can tell the picture itself is already a bit dark as it is, so if it had longer exposure... you just wouldn't see a thing, just the sky.

All I'm saying is that it's obnoxious to bump your own thread while adding nothing other than 'Bump'. If we're done talking about your pic, we're done talking about your pic, and you should accept that.

At a minimum, pretend to be someone else and say that the picture's great. Something other than 'bump'.

pretending to be someone else and saying "wow that's awesome" is more desperate than a simple "bump".

Obviously, but thanks to the wonders of internet Anonymity, unless the poster does something really stupid to make it known that he's bumping his own thread, it looks like it might have been someone else. So it'd piss me off less.
