Hi from the Critique Club,
You've captured an interesting structure here with a fresh and probably not very often photographed perspective. I really liked this challenge, because it encouraged a perspective not often considered by many photographers, including myself. With that said, I think there are only a few things working against you here. First, the edge of the building caught in the upper-left corner is distracting. Rather than being drawn to the structure, my eye keeps being pulled to the negative space between the main subject and the edge of the building in the top corner. Second, the stuff in the bottom-right corner is competing for my attention; perhaps a slightly different composition would have helped. Third, it looks a bit oversharpened for the web; there's a bit of haloing at the top and along the shadow edge of the building.
On the positive side, the colours are nice and I like the textures of the bricks on the subject. Overall lighting is good and the gradation in the sky is nice.
Your score would improve a bit if the subject was a bit more captivating, but overall I think your technicals are quite sound and your image is quite deserving of the score it obtained.
Regards,
Geoff |

| Nice view, but i'm not sure the sepia works best for it. there is an object just in view in the corner that is distracting but unrecognizable. |

| Interesting chimney, great sepia. That thing in the image in the top corner is mighty distracting. |

| The structure intruding on the top left is unfortunate. Sepia works quite nicely with the brick chimney. |

| I like the main subject, the sepia (?) tone. The object in the upper left is a bit distracting. |

| The piece crossing the top left takes something away for an otherwise fine photo 6 |

| cool chimney - the issue I have with the image is the building that is just in view in the upper left. This is where my eye keeps getting drawn to. If the shot had been more at a diagonal, it my hold a bit more interest |

| I like how you were able to capture the brick-like texture. The object in the upper left is a bit distracting. |
