I think I prefer this one to your comp entry. The strong diagonal and greater depth make it for me. In your comp entry I didn't really 'get' the white arrow and yellow lines.

Boy was it a grey day and this is an alley that runs steeply uphill between two Victorian warehouses so it gets little enough light anyway.
In the competition entry I just like the colours and shapes but the arrow was a fake wall demarcating car park spaces. Kiddy trying to go upmarket I suppose

I must agree with Dr. Mhuni.
I miss colors.I really do. The warmth coming from the sunlighted bricks...texture....
The winner was Winner for me because of the light and colors !
Ok, Ok, maybe I just miss sun itself

I do like the composition and there certainly is something in it. I tried a little variation on it:

But I'm sure it's better to go there again when the light is a bit more favourable.

I think it would have been a better choice.
It is a strong composition just lacking good lighting

I found it surprising that I could get 4 or 5 shots on a single topic in one 2 hour walk that I'm not ashamed of. OK none of them are earth shattering but it shows what a purposeful walk can achieve. I was determined to get an entry for the weekly and only had one chance for it.

Mhuni,
I basically did a very similar thing to my 5th post in this thread (Venice II). That is, load into Corel PhotoPaint, apply local equalization (I think the radius was something around 100). Then put the new version as a new layer over the old one and use soft light as the layer mode.
I put another layer with soft light on top of that and painted the light parts of the "handrail" over with black.
I think that was it. All in all perhaps five minutes.

That is really quite an amazing effect Prieni. Some of those bricks in the lower left and upper right look completely different to the originals. I don't just mean that they look superficially different, darker or brighter etc. They look like different bricks! Different colours and tones, and even textures! Amazing.
Now to find a Mac app that does this local EQ thing
