This is an old factory that has fallen into disrepair in Nottingham.
The only modification I have done is to crop a bit off the right side.

At 500x333 pixels, a lot of detail gets lost going down in size like this.
In the future, try and use the 640 pixels on the longest side to your advantage. Image is also only 73K - still had a lot more file size to go. Use as much of the 150K as possible to reduce how much compression the shot gets.
The site has some excellent tutorials on preparing a shot for a challenge in the Forums, Tutorials section.
Met the challenge, though a bit lacking in clarity/detail, again probably due to the small image and file size. Be careful about cropping or cutting off the top of a roof too like that - the yes tend to follow the natural lines upward to something missing. (4)

The sky looks fake

This would be better if the top corner of the building was in the frame, otherwise the point of view is good. The sky looks a bit over processed.

i would have liked to see something closer up to the building, maybe with more detail. i can see that this is an abandoned building but it doesn't tell me much. closeer would tell me more.

There seems to be something strange where the building and horizon meet the sky - perhaps too much sharpening? Not sure, but it gives it the impression of being pasted on a blue background.

Was the sky really that flat? I like the building. One thing that caught my eye was the fact that the building points right at the bushes, which made me notice the halo around the bushes. My attention keeps ending up there instead of on the building.

Small size photo. The top corner cut off in the crop is distracting to my eye. There must be an intimate story in this midst of this huge building which would point us to the former glory of the place. Sky needs some clouds to give this story a more interesting backdrop.
