For me I see no story here, no idea about the building type, just demolition in progress. The interest factor is low for me. Technically it is a good shot, just not one that has any inherent interest for me.

I wish the colors were more saturated, im especially missing the deep browns and green that are often present in abandoned spaces as well as warm colors in general.

Well seen.
Mixed feelings on the post-processing on this.
Open challenges have their limitations - UGH.

Isn't it funny how light and shadow can make something ugly and ruined beautiful? Very nice.
