Default Favourite Shot From Rolleiflex

This is my favourite shot from a recent day out with my Rolleiflex 3.5f and i'd like some critique on it please.



Also feel free to add me on flickr!
Cheers!

This brings back great memories for me as my dad used to shoot with a Rollei when I was a boy. They are exceedingly fine instruments capable of creating some rather impressive images. I like the way the
'V' shape of the awning breaks down into the blown out area and would have liked to have seen a bit more of it. Aside from that I like the shot. You have not told us where it was taken but it has a French feel to it. (Yes, I can see that there is a sign in English and another in French, maybe it's London.)

Thanks for your kind words!

It is indeed a precision instrument- very proud of it.

It is in Birmingham! About as far away from the romance of Paris as you can get.
