Nice building. Maybe it was not possible, but it would have been better to take the picture from farther away or with a wider lens so that it fits entirely in the image.

Seems a bit oversaturated, especially the brick on the right (and the red on the next building), but I really like the composition.

the PP is great but feels too fresh & new in contrast to the subject, for me this takes away from any sense of abandonment

I'd have liked to see a different angle on this, with perhaps more detail on the rusted steps. Just my taste.

I really like the desat on this photo, it really makes the small boys facial expression pop! I like the crop that you have used in the shot, it keeps the attention on the boy as he is on the left verticle 3rd of the photo along with the brown eyes drawing you there first. The expression really speaks in this photo.

The lighting looks like it was done with the avialable light of the outdoors. The boys shoulder is a bit blown out along with some points in the hair. Overall very good composition and framing, good DOF, and sharp and clear in the details such as facial features and the stands of hair.

Really? It got a lot of hits, but I just thought that was because it looked cool as a thumbnail.

I've been having a look at the tilt and I'm not sure whether it's natural or not... I think the road is one doing the sloping.. like the tones because they give a certain cruch to the picture[don't know how to phrase that better].. I can almost imagine the weather and atmosphere at the location.. I'm almost wishing the picture was sligthly better framed.. maybe if the road was more visible, leading away.. or in the potrait orientation.. but that can't be helped now.. great treasure to have from the trip..

This is a suoer landscape and I can quite see why you want to have a framed print on your wall. Before you print, I think it may be worth levelling the horizon - I think you will notice the slight tilt when you see it framed. At fist I wasn't sure if the apparrant tilt was a bit of an illusion, but if you look at the base of the clouds it is more obvious.
