Two shots in my local area

[DonRak]

These two shots were taken in my local area.
The first is on a housing estate called Fishermead, in Milton Keynes. Our dentist is opposite a closed shop; I'd seen the shutters on a previous tooth ripping visit and popped back to take this shot.
The second one is some wall art in Bletchley. I only came across this when I walked back to my car via a different route to the one I normally take.
Both shots were taken with an X100 and I will probably revisit both places to try other angles.

To my eye #1 looks as though it needs straightening vertically, seems to slope to the right. #2 is interesting but a bit dark for my preference, others will like it darker no doubt.

You know Gramps, you're right about #1......I must stop leaning my head to the right when processing!!
With #2 it looks OK on my monitor but if I slouch or raise myself in the seat it does go dark; I'll have a look at these again.
Thanks

Just as I see it with #2, done to my preference it would be a bit lighter:-

Let me know if you would rather I take it down

Hey! Now that even looks better on my monitor; thanks for that Gramps and no need to take it down.
