 Taken in an old abadoned building in Singapore. Excellent location. Set the camera settings for contrast / saturation up high and then in photoshop I pushed it a bit further, cropped a little to keep it symmetrical and finally a small unsharp mask.

impressive decay, though the bright light on the right seems to distract too much

I really love the perspective in this image, as it leads you right down the passage to the doorway, right down the back.....

I am a sucker for architectural shots and this is a really fine example, full of narrative - just begs the question "what happened?"

Wow, very nice. I love the patterns, the repitition of the columns. The lighting is very mysterious and the woods look great as well.
