Thanks, Paul! I did notice the slight tilt when I was processing but I decided to leave it. Most of the buildings in Kensington are old (by Toronto standards) and the neighbourhood is populated by non-conformists, punks, neo-hippies and the like. Some of buildings are actually a bit tilted.

Frank, I *love* this image and the inclusion of the person in the frame really makes it more than it would have been without him. Love the colors and the mix of light, the odd round reflections in the alleyway shadows. Just a lot for the eye to move around with. As for the tilt, you know me... it
