The bright, white rectangle by the right margin kind of pulls my eyes away from the subject. Maybe you could tone it down? But I do like it.

I like the brown tone as well. Lends a sense of history to it.

For your comments.

I actually brightened the rectangle on the right to act as a counter-weight to the window. To provide balance. I'll have to do another version with it toned down to see what it looks like. Thanks!

I LOVE the 'almost' sepia tone. It sets it apart from strict black and white but avoids the fake 'old time' feel that a strict sepia would have added. Thanks for noticing
