 In the early 20th century, business was flourishing in the Port of Montreal. As a result, grain processors were built, like this one. Though this former grain elevator is no longer operational, it remains as a cool abandoned site to check out. (Source : MTL Blog.com)

greetings from the critique club

Just short of the coveted 6. I found this to meet the challenge well. The composition is a bit dull, it's a portrait of a building. The images that scored better had a bit more space to let the image breathe.

If you had waited until later in the day to take this picture, when the was just about to set, I think it would have scored a lot better. The lighting is harsh and very contrasty. I think you've slightly underexposed the frame (probably deliberately due to the bright sunshine), but a slight tweak to the highlights would have made the image stand out a bit more.

You did pretty well with this image, I personally gave it a 6 as it clearly met the challenge. Had the lighting been softer, it's probable I would have scored it a bit higher.

Reminds me of a beached whale. How many people must have lost their jobs when this closed. Like a depression era (1930's) documentary photograph, it just presents the fact for contemplation. Nicely framed by trees and sky.

Yes, that's what I wanted to see in this challenge. Rust, broken windows, graffiti, An 8 from me

Oh my, what a behemoth!

The color saturation certainly emphasizes the rust. Effectively composed. Not necessarily very emotive, but it certainly conveys the hard facts of abandonment.

One of my favorite titles in this challenge.
