*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

A record shot that meets the challenge.

This is a straightforward documentary style image that records the existence of the building and little else really. Although the light on the end wall is nice you haven't made the best of the opportunity with the bulk of the image in fairly dull shade. I think moving your position a little further left to include all of the end wall and shadows without any cropping of the wall and cropping the right of the image to the downpipe and excluding it would have made for a better composition overall. This would have placed the 'tower' further to the right and improved the composition whilst making a feature of the end wall.

Like one of your commenters I am perplexed by the texture of the brickwork it just doesn't look natural at all, it can't be down to noise reduction given your low ISO perhaps that is the way it is. If that is so then it is even more reason to reduce its share of the image and concentrate on the end wall which is far more appealing with those lovely windows too. I have to say that the rest of the building by comparison is really quite boring.

Thanks for your submission and apologies for the delayed critique, as they say, 'better late than never', or at least I hope it is, Sid

There seems to be a lot of noise reduction or something in the fine textures here - not crazy about the end result.
