 There\'s this old state hospital/asylum that was abandoned some years ago right down the road from where I live - I\'ve always wanted to take a picture of parts of it especially the interiors but they have security guards patrolling. They\'re begining to tear it down now :(

Could of been a contender.

did you try differant angles? or did you just stick with this angle?

What about differant lens? did you experiment with editing? or were you satisfied with your first attempt?

I'm watching you because I see something. So lets see it next time.

Great subject…but it seems a bit flat…nothing really stands out from the rest of the photo…just making the red brick with a bit more red…or green in the vines…I do like the image and 5.6 isn’t a bad shot at all…good choice of location, just keep in mind the rest in the editing part

Creepy subject. The coloring is nice. The composition could be improved.
