Might have cropped differently to move the screen into a 1/3 composition, both horizontally and vertically. With this head-on flat view it hard to tell its a drive-in theater, or at least that is what I think it is.

good subject, but seems pretty flat...a bit of sun on the screen might have helped

The framing/composition is a bit static to me because of the centered subject. On the one hand that kinda suits the subject well, because it is obviously not serving a purpose anymore (or doesn't seem to be), but on the other, it doesn't make for a very interesting or dynamic picture.

Perhaps a more off-center composition might work well here?

this seems a bit flat, need a bit more contrast IMHO.

Not a very interesting subject for a free study. The contracts are too large and the details of the trees are lost in this shot.

Not a real attention grabber. Maybe color would of given this more bang.

I think this would benefit from a bit more contrast. I t's hard to tell if that's a building or an old drive movie screen.

IMHO, the subject is somewhat bland and way too dark.

lopve the monochromatic treatment on this image. unfortunate about that contrail (straight edge) in the clouds. Still, a mysterious and haunting image.
