I am not real sure what caused the screen pattern that everyone saw. No matter how much I used unsharp mask, it would not go away. I almost did not submit this photograph for that reason, but I liked the photograph despite the pattern, and felt that it added to the overall mood of the photograph. This structure is part of a large unused industrial complex, that had many great subjects for the challenge, but unfortunately, the security guard awoke from his nap before I could get to the other subjects, and chased me off!!
Thank you for all your comments.

This building is in despair, good one... I like the way the sky is also dark and depressing, it puts more emphasis on the whole image. What is that pattern in this photo, did you take it through a window?

great compostion, but bad moire pattern. It doesn't hurt it as a photo but it is an image for presentation. Nice job. Where's this at? I'm a big fan of abandoned places.

Nicelly framed. Good use of B&W. Very good photo. Too bad the image is so compressed and we see the compression artifacts... 7/10

Nice shot. The clouds add interest to an appropriately dull sky, and I like the bold lines of the chimneys.

I really like this shot, but there is some strange texture to the whole scene, almost like it was shot through a screen-door, which is very distracting. Otherwise very nice.
