Shell of a Building

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

A 20 sec exposure on the back of a gutted building (shot through a gap in a wire fence)

Beautiful golden light and strong composition Pharmer. Like the line study and the leading lines created by the shadows on each side wall
cheers

This is an excellent shot. Well framed and lit. And in your trademark orange, no less. At this rate all the orange photo receptors in your camera will be worn out.

Barry,

This is a very appealing photo. I'm still learning about composition and this is the type of image that someone like me can really learn a lot from.
Great photo.

:ot: It kind of reminds me of an investment property a friend of mine owned that had been inhabited by a couple of junkies. They moved in paid bond and two weeks rent, then 14 weeks later after they were evicted this is kinda how it looked. Everything inside it including the kitchen and bathroom ended up in the skip on the front lawn.

Can't be helped Peter - I saw the glow of the lights on the walls and had to take a photo, just so happens it was orange :D

Wow! I really like this... Lots of subtle shadow detail and the glow of the golden light streaming through the windows casting the shadows from the window frames...

This works a treat...!

Lovely shot :) Nicely captured - framing is spot on, as is the exposure. Brilliant light!
Wish I had an eye for this sort of shot! At least we share the right rugby team ;)
