Nice angle and dof. I like how the needles appear to spin out from the center.

Tee hee. . .that reminds me of a sign I saw when we were visiting California once. It said, "Welcome to California. Now Please Go Home!" :)

At least your chances of a crowd appearing here are pretty slim.

I think the photo is cool by the way too :)

The grain is very strong in this one..... It suits the background and the trees but not quite so good re the posters as they are harder to read, with the grain.....

Its a five star hotel...At night you can see them through the hole in the roof!

I do love the sense of dilapidation that you have caught here, which combines with a slight sense of menace (when I saw it the first thing I thought of was the Bates motel in psycho!)

Lovely composition and excellent the way the window and crack on the larger building runs down the rule of third line. This along with pinebough is my favourite of yours in the competition!

What a very cool place! Too bad they have to take it down but I'm guessing the structure just isn't strong enough to be rebuilt. Or it would cost too much, which is the more likely scenario. This might also look lovely with a sepia tone and perhaps a bit of grain to keep with it's age.
