Broken and neglected, she awaits the sea

nice composition. it begs the question, what happened here. it looks like you've got some glass reflection or something like that in your sky??? otherwise it's a pretty technically sound image. I suppose it could be a cloud but it looks fairly mechanical. I'm not sure what the rules are but I'd burn in the highlights there to give some more contrast in the sky if in fact that is a cloud. It could give you a nice added layer to the pic.

Thanks for all your comments:

PTLParsons: There was a lamppost to the left of the shot and another building (slightly higher) to the right. This was the best crop I could come up with.

techerring: The one thing I really wanted to do was shoot that with the afternoon sun on the building in the background with blue sky. That would have added that extra wow factor and a point or two to the shot, I'm sure. Thanks for the critique though!

Bullwinkle: If the building in the background had been a stronger yellow, I would have cropped the yellow flowers in front a bit more..

Well, I hope you don't get upset by the very SHORT Critique, but this is a fabulous shot that met the challenge perfectly. I honestly don't see anything I would remove...oh wait..next time, go drive all those cars out of the way so there's more focus on the builing (just kidding). Really this is an awesome shot that should have scored higher in my opinion.

this picture was done very nicely. I think that by adding some color would have helped out the picture though. Nice Work
