#1 is awesome it has that mystery behind it

 

[ImportFan1]

Finally decided to vote for #2. Even though the bottom of the pic is underexposed/dark, I like how the brighter colors were captured in the middle of the shot along with the stars in the top of the opening in the middle. That and there was almost no noise to the picture which is great for a shot like that.

Kinda wish I would've had the time to enter this one. There are some abandoned limestone kkilns still around I could've snapped a shot of. I can't vote on my phone so ill have to wait.

I encourage you guys to give some constructive criticism. Why you like or don't like each photo.

After some thought, I'll go with #4. I was going to go for #2 but I just can't get over the dark foreground. The stars add a nice touch but overall I enjoy #4 the most due to composition.

#1 has a nice mystery to it but it's not so much an abandoned structure. #3's fence is somewhat distracting and a CP filter could've helped dim the sky to make the main subject pop a little more. #4 could've used a CP filter as well but the composition is nice and the highlights aren't TOO blown to make it THAT big of a deal. #5 has the main subject cut on each side. Zooming out a little more could've helped and I'm not a big fan on the tilt. I like the subject in #6 but it's taking up too much of the photograph IMO. Backing up a bit to fine tune the composition could've made it better IMO.

i went with #1 liked the composition, and the grain i thought added to the pictures.....the door open a lil i think would have made it way better and i like how the perspective was changed. almost went for #4 but it looks like the vibrance was jacked way up or its a poorly made HDR image. which leads me to ask is everyone here using a properly calibrated monitor photos? if were not were not looking at the images properly.....just a thought O_o

It's funny you say that... On my monitor, those images look perfectly normal. But on my work computer, they all look blue-ish. And one of the local photographers that posts on a local forum, ALL his photos always look really blue but he claims to be on a calibrated monitor.

You can calibrate a monitor for a multitude of things, properlly calibrating a monitor for photos is making your monitor match what you print, (on a good printer, not your standard home printer)

I was between #1 and #2. They both had a certain mystery to them that drew me into the picture. With #1, I could tell it was an abandoned building just from the door, and really wanted to know what the rest of the outside and inside looked like.

With #2, you could get a feel for the interior of the building, but it didn't tell the whole story. I could see what looked like a loudspeaker, hinting to the building's past, and I wanted to know more.

In the end, #2 gave me just a teaser taste of the mystery - enough to draw me in more. I also really liked the variation in luminance and the variety of yellows. #2 got my vote.
