It's Okay, but lacks dynamic range i.e. it's flat to the eye.

Also thin you need a more interesting angle for the image to really work!

Hi Tomasmuts,

This is a really interesting image. At first glance, it doesn't really seem like much, but the more I look at the more I like it. it fills me with questions like 'is that a broken window on the left?' and 'what is that junk on the right?' I really want to know what the story is behind this broken down building.

Having said that, I think that there are a couple of things you could do to make this a more engaging image. First, I would recommend converting it to black and white with lots of contrast. I would also crop out the gravel in the foreground; it doesn't add anything to the story of this building.

That's my two cents, please feel free to ignore it...
