I love old abandoned buildings. Would be a fun place to do a model photo shoot. :~)

Comment by Paul:
OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy):

Positives: Bold image for a free study and I love it! I think the composition is outstanding, I find my eye really looking at the scene - there is much to take in and I find myself asking why were you here? The washed-out colours are great, very much in keeping with the scene - did you desaturate at all? The draped shower curtain (if that's what it is) makes the image for me - did you place it? The beam at the back of the image is also an important element, it gives the image depth and really makes you feel there, like I could walk to the next room.

I've also noted the shadow detail in the ceiling - I feel sure you must've brought this out in post-processing; again, this works really well and communicates the structure and shape of the architecture.

Critical thoughts: Not much really - perhaps the crop? I might question the portrait orientation choice and the chopping of the window blind (?), but I respect your choice here nonetheless.

Overall, a fascinating image which I am very pleased to have been able to enjoy.

Yes, the chimera is on the right third and does occupy space along the bottom third, but I expected my eye to alight on something special at an intersection. Really liked the shape, empty space and its color, and the color contrast with the flag.

Great shot of the gargoyle. All I have to ask is did you put the flag there or was it already there.

Comment by JuliBoc:
Great detail and light. And the angle and perspective give it a lot of excitement.

Very good perspective, the way that you composed it works very well too.

This is really a great example of ideal editing. This is the kind of photo I will refer back to when I'm trying to get just the right look.
