interesting. I'll start by going off topic, and point out that the writing in the bottom right is a tadge messy. The L's are not even throughout and I would suggest using a sharper font without such aliasing problems as you have here. (For example Tahoma or Trebuchet).
Also note, that like many photos I have reviewed, the artist has rushed their framing and made critical mistakes. Straight away I can see that the white outline frame is inconsistent throughout and plagues by blotches and aliasing. Without even saying anything about the photograph itself, I can tell you that it will look so much more striking if you set a non-aliased, sharp, pure-white 2px outline border around the photo.
Where I think this photo succeeds is the reverse contrast. Instead of down the alley way being dark, it is light! I think that's marvelous, and offsets that corner wall behind the lamp.
I also enjoy the elements of the photo that poke out perpendicular left and right, suc as the upper lamp, and the bar by the drain pipe on the right.
The plant seems to be pointing the way down the alley, so I like the invitation to explore that this photo suggests, but at the same time the caution created by the presence of the grafitti, the open doorway and the bars over the windows.
My only complaint would be that the width feels tight, what with so many vertical lines. I feel quite squashed, and that the vertical tilt upward might have been better straight, or downward.

Nice tonal range. . . you converted it to B+W after taking it I presume? An excellent choice, I'd say. . .

Amazing lighting used here. The closest building almost blends in with the other one (near the top). Messed with my eyes a bit at first lol

This is great, and I think that the graffiti gives this a new vs old feel. Bringing modern culture into it.

I love the composition and symmetry in this shot. It feels as tight and confined as it looks. Very nice ^_^

the light is a little punt, you could lΓ©gΓ©rement accentuate it under
photoshop with the curves! photography would be more alive!
afflicted for my English, but I am so bad, that I use a translator.

Yes and you know, i took the classic shots of Rome too, but here i wanted to post something different.

This is not what you'd expect of Rome. Normaly you think grand architecture but this shows the simpler side of life.
