Thank you all for you comments. This is my first submit and I'm very, very happy with it.
About the chair: I took some shot and composed the frame w/o it but it lost its rhythm of lighting and balance to the bright window which is over exposed :P
Glad I found this place

Strong contrasts and the curved forms make this a powerful photo. The arches are quite beautiful and the textures are wonderful andrewm

Superb! The spooky feeling, the sense of atrophy, and the suspense in the shot are totally awesome, but the chair is a stoke of pure genius; I'd be interested to know if this was lit by fill flash or a natural light source. The scene has an air of 'What's around the corner?' that makes you want to pan around the bend. The overall colour and dimly lit areas work to absolute perfection. Superb photography. (10)

This is a really cool place! It is too bad for all the garbage there though. But, I guess if there wasn't garbage here, you couldn't have submitted this shot. The angle and framing are great. I really like the way this curves like it does. I think it is a bit dark in the foreground there, but it appears to be a not well lit place. Overall a nice shot! Great surroundings around your garbage. :) Good luck in the challenge. ~hbunch7187~

Excellent shot, my only suggestion to be would to eliminate the chair, it draws my eye away from the really interesting area of the photo. Great work nontheless.

Would have been a 10 picture if not for the chair/table thing in the foreground.

Very emotional shot. Feels very sad and lonely. Good color and eye on this one. DPz

One of my favorites in the challenge. This is an awesome place. The lighting is interesting, but I would try it a little later in the day (with a tripod and slow shutter speed) so the one hole on the right isn't so bright. Altho, this doesn't look like the sort of place I would want to be too late in the evening ;o) Also, I think the chair (?) on the left is unnecessary. There is enough other garbage, and it distracts a little from the interesting lighting and lines of the shot. 8 ~indigo997

Nice place, too bad for the garbage

I love this photo! The opposing images of the light wall and dark wall are very dramatic. The debris, espacially the child's chair, really sets the mood.

I like the shot, the negative-positive image... unfortunately, I feel that it is a picture of a tunnel and not a photo of garbage.

If only that far door-way wasn't so over-exposed.

very well composed. working with these light sources looks like it was tricky. would've like a tiny bit more detail on the right side glowing door, but i bet metering for that wouldve changed the look of the whole photograph.

Well done, great tones and colours, it really feels trashy and dirty.
