Hey there from the Critique Club

My thoughts on the image: This was one of my favorite voting challenges as of recent history here. I like the vast array of options and situations that the challenge lent itself to shooting. Here, you have a great start, but the image is lacking in my opinion. I think that's I'd like to see the crop a little wider, as my eye wants to think so much more exists to the decay portion of the image. Your lighting is a bit harsh, graduating from the dark, near-under exposed left hand side to the bright, near over exposed right hand side.

My ideas for improvement: Open the crop up and show me more decay. I do get the feeling of the withering structure, but I don't see enough destruction to make me really love this image.

Where I would have/did score this entry: I did vote in this challenge, and I was one of your 4s. This one could have easily grown in my mind with a different crop and composition.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

I like this and it's particularly nice in b&w-fits the challenge theme. Good entry. Such a waste of windows.
