This plant doesnt look abandoned. Oh - you mean the building? This is a good case of the title being detrimental to the shot. So I'm choosing to ignore the title. It's a great shot - I like the subject being out of focus back ground. The plant/weed gives a good overgrown feeling to the place. Focus, colour and contrast are all great. Well done - great shot. 8 from me.

I like that you've gone for a different viewpoint here. The slight flare is such a shame.

It seems more a photo of a weed than of an abandoned building. Perhaps that's what you were looking for...but not what appeals to me today.

yes, the building in the back is old, but the main focus on this is the plant, which cant be that old.

I dont know what to look at here. The weed or the buildiing. ThinkI would have picked one or the other.

I was just reviewing some of the comments on this photo, and I was shocked by the amount of people who didnt get the connection to Corporate life. I would have thought it was painfully obvious. Oh well you still have to agree its a wonderful image.
