This is a photo of a building that used to be a Sanitarium for mentally ill people. I took a lot of photos of these buildings and this is far from my best, but It is the only one that isnt flawed I think and I guess Im just playing it safe. I hope people like the color and texture of the walls.

I was going through your abandoned building portfolio knowing that one had to be your entry already reading your comments on the "Illuminate" entry. When I got to this I thought "this would have been a good choice" I scroll down and then saw it was the one you chose. :) I think yo umade the right choice.

The colors and textures are amazing. I really like the perspective too. Nice offset composition - good job.

As creepy as this is, I love it. The light is wonderful and illuminates the many colors so well. Good job.

Great image. I'd tone down the blues a stop or so, and move the pov about a foot to the right, but that's just nitpicking.

Love the colors, the texture and the great perspective of the hallway. The blown-out highlights are a little distracting, and I wonder if a more off-center, slightly angled composition/view would be a bit more dynamic.

Don't get me wrong- I'm not saying I don't like this image - it's great! Just looking at it with an eye to it having the potential to be even more powerful than it already is.

This was great. A 7 from me - only real detractor was that hot spot at the top-middle. As far as my idea of "meets the challenge" a 10++++ :)

Great concept for drawing the eye, except that the flare at the top takes you right to it.

too much clutter in this shot, for my taste

There is beauty in what society calls an eyesore.

This seems like it was a difficult picture to get considering the lighting. Good job. Don't think I will be going there anytime soon..10 ;)

There is quite a few hotspots in the center of the frame that I find to be very distracting. I assume its where the roof is off near the top center of the photo is the worst one of all. I also find that the photo could have been rotated about 1 or 2 degrees ccw to level out the photo properly. I think the image has some good color but lacks clarity due to image resizing. A different crop of this photo ould have made a greater impact on this photo. Good luck with this challenge.

Unless intended, I think the white-balance could be a bit warmer. Nice textures.

Good shot. Color seems a bit off (purple haze on the floor--with my monitor). Good perspective. The blow out at the top is distracting.

Cool colors, cool perspective.

a slight rotation to the left would have helped, otherwise pretty cool... watch for distracting highlights in the frame too like the sun at top.

certainly this meets the challenge subject wise, a good find, the light from some spots looks overexposed and some detail seems to be lost but the graffiti adds alot of interest all in all a pretty cool shot

This is one of my favorites in this challenge. I love the colors, the textures, the composition, and evern the blast of light which illuminates it all. I find myself trying to read the 'writings on the wall'. <9>
