Good timing to get a lovely sky! Looks like a nice even exposure with OK composition.

Nice sky, good colour. Well exposed but the composition doesn't appeal to me.
Looks worse on black IMO, whats with that on every photo anyway, is it too get more views on flickr?

I really like your work; its artistic, expressive, sometimes dark, and really fun. In this one I really like the blue sky against the memorial...I would probably crop both sides to enhance that feeling.

Cheers guys, I prefer to look at photos on the black background, I feel it gives the edges of the shots more definition. A lot of people do! Another forum I am on has a yellow background so it just doesn't work haha!

Thank you all, Burslem is a beautiful place, Stoke on Trent is! You just need to know where to look

I think it is just that bit busy. You have the hanging baskety things, lamposts and cars streaking past (or it's workmans barrier tape) . I'd find a different angle where there isn't quite as much going on. The cone is also distracting. I'd have hidden that before starting the picture or at least cloned it out.

Exposure is good though.
