I just love the differant layers that you have captured in this one.
The textures of the peeling paint are also awesome, and give the feeling of negelect or ageing.....

Wow, this is a truly spooky photo, but very intriguing. I definitely want to know what's behind that door - or maybe I don't - maybe it's an electric chair or something. Very well metered and composed.

Without the title I would think this would almost be art deco with the faded walls and light green colors.

Boy was this under-rated. What a terrific piece. Colors, texture, lighting, perspective.

What a great shot of a place with tons of character... I love the chipped paint-- and your point of view is perfect.

I really enjoyed this photo when I viewed it for the Team Suck thing posthumous instigated. I didn't vote for it in the out-of-the box category because I felt the one that I did vote on (I think it was the computer architecture thing) fit that description more. I'm actually really tired of that expression---I like creative thinking but I think it is overused and the results of so-called 'out-of-the-box' thinking are often irrelevant and preposterous. Anyway, I liked this image the best out of the ones offered. I really didn't even want to participate in that voting but I really like posthumous...;D

I really like the colors and the textures in this. It is another example of what is obviously your talent for careful observation of your surroundings. My only beef with this image was that the focus could be sharper for the crackling to really stand out. I know this can be difficult if the lighting isn't great.

i really love the feel of this pic, disorienting and complicated. Only sugestion i would make is to shift the camera to the left a bit, framing it with the mirror more. a wonderful out of the box picture.

Amazing. You can feel the age and decay.

Mirrors in the penitentiary?

Nice title. Sounds like Plath, but probably isn't. Paint texture is outstanding. For photographic purposes, paint gets better with age and weather. Nice that you submitted something out of the ordinary.

Very clever subject, composition. The viewer doubts what exactly they are looking at and must pay even more attention to the architectural details to orient. The worn textures and colors are lovely. The crop feels a bit tight on the left, but I like the asymetry of the lines. 8
