It leans to the right. Also, I think I would have put the end of the corridor lower in the frame.

I like the vignetting in the corners and the depth of color. The wet walkway adds a nice dimension. I agree that the end of the corrider would look better lower (it feels like I'm going uphill), but I guess that depends on what was above the doorway.

I agree it does feel like your really going up hill. If you got down a little lower you could have avoided this without getting much of the stuff above the doorway....but then again it may ruin the wet cement. All in all it would be a great idea to keep in mind next time how the perspective effects how perceive the landscape. I also agree that it feels like it leans to the right a bit especially toward the far end of the alleyway. I think the shot is a really great capture and I really like the converging lines of the bricks mortar. Overall very nice idea and capture

I have to inform you that is wet CONCRETE and not wet cement!! Cement is what holds the rock and sand together to form concrete. Common mistake. I was in the construction business for years and that is one of my pet peves.
