Congratulations on the top10 :)

My favorite architectural photo from the challenge. I find the tones and abstract like shape very appealing.

This is a great shot. Complex without being busy. All the angles, reflections, etc, work well together.

It does kinda bug me that it's not quite vertical. I think it would've worked well as a properly vertical shot, or as an abviously angled one. But this "almost but not quite" thing just makes it look like a framing error.

I think making it monochrome was the right choice; too many colours would have pushed it over into being "busy". But it might also work well as a duotone or tritone.

I think the black and white does it for me in this shot. Fitting title as well.

I love the lack of colour, gives a great feeling of desolation
