 This abandoned manufacturing plant lives - precariously - in Dogpatch, an informal district of San Francisco. The brickwork is still beautiful. Someday, it'll be condos, no doubt.

Okay, to business: Convert from RAW, crop, A little perspective work, selective colors on the windows and then on the facade, and then, finally on the fence to bring out the importance of each.

Sharpen, and there you have it.

Great title. Sharper focus would have helped I think.

Gritty. I like the opposing diagonals and the crazy lines of the barbed wire. The lighting is a little harsh.

Very mysterious. What's the barbed wire for? Hmmm...

Windows pack a punch with the sky reflected in them. Good work.

I think including more of the fence and less of the brick above the windows would make this place feel more off limits and more abandoned.
