 This is the Colt building in Hartford CT, its a side with a fire escape, and a hole in the ground, then a ten foot chainlink fence. if you made down this rusted fire escape, you still couldn't get away from the burning building. That is where no escape comes from.

But I showed my wife, told her the title and she said- thats sad- as if it was low income housing that was being depicted, and the shot is so much more emotional- given that thought.

This is the fuji point and shoot, and its a schlocky job doing unsharp mask, curves and neat image. So I predict a 5 or less based on crappy image quality, and for perceived busy nature of composition

I've seen a similar place on Houston St in NYC and this captures it better than I did. Nice work.

Lovely angle and composition... the building is a little soft though. 7 from me. Well done.

Excellent. The use of the fence is really what makes this photo work.
