Comment by Neuferland:
From Butte, MOntana? Don't they use it for apartments anymore? I didn't get a chance to go by there when I was home last summer but it's sad to think this might no longer be in use. If it's not from Butte, MT, then there is another that looks just like this building in Butte, MT :)

As for the shot itself, the light is a bit harsh and unforgiving and the street lamp is distracting as is the car. Maybe if you had come from the front and did a shot going up the front of the building showing the name and the broken out windows and the cross?

I like this one. A little overexposed or brightened and the car doesn't help the shot, but a very interesting shot.

I liked the balance from the black fire escape and the black car. Otherwise, the colors seem a bit flat, and the building crooked.

This is a really good subject for this challenge. I think if you increase the contrast , it would become quite a bit more dramatic, but it's still a nice shot as is.

as much as they seems to be sprouting they may get up and walk themselves to the plant!...you might want to try and use a piece of white poster board slightly curved in half to get rid of the distracting corner lines and use a bounced flash to soften the shadows
