PAUL!
My jaw is on my desk - This is near perfection and should have been at least in the top ten in my opinion.
Oh man - I'm heartbroken :(

At 500x333 pixels, a lot of detail gets lost going down in size like this.
In the future, try and use the 640 pixels on the longest side to your advantage. Image is also only 73K - still had a lot more file size to go. Use as much of the 150K as possible to reduce how much compression the shot gets.
The site has some excellent tutorials on preparing a shot for a challenge in the Forums, Tutorials section.
Met the challenge, though a bit lacking in clarity/detail, again probably due to the small image and file size. Be careful about cropping or cutting off the top of a roof too like that - the yes tend to follow the natural lines upward to something missing. (4)

In regards to fitting the challenge of Abandoned Buildings, the shot's main focal point falls on the people instead of the ruins in the background.
Hope this helps and isn't taken offensively as it surely isn't meant to.

Tough angle to shoot from, being that low.
Perhaps the time of day was wrong or something, as I am having a hard time trying to figure out if that is a tree or cloth or ? on the corner and looks to be between the shed & main building. The foliage is almost the main focal point in this shot and I bet this could be composed a little better from a different point of view. (4)

Well seen.
Image is a bit harsh contrast-wise and in my opinion kinda' hurts this shot, especially where the detail is lost in the highlights. Interesting architecture too with the rounded corner that is so in the past nowadyas.
