 All I did for this picture was sharpen it, desaturate it a bit, increase contrast, and resize it.

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Everything appears nicely focused, and the colors work very well together to give a very nice feeling of failure.

Lighting: As I mentioned during the challenge, the background light of the sky is too strong. If the light were behind you, you'd have a much more powerful capture.

Composition/Content: You have a great composition started, but it still needs some work. The fence comes in and a terrific spot, but I'd like to see the building up and to the left more, getting it out of the center. As it is, the fence provides a great leading line, but just plops the eye into the middle of the frame with nowhere else to roam.

My Opinion: I think that you did a very nice job meeting the challenge. With some lighting and composition changes, this one surely would have scored higher.

Interesting idea. Very run down feel, prefect for failure.

very interesting shot but the pic seems a bit underexposed and the colors are dull

I do get a strong sense of failure here, but the lighting needs some work. It look almost backlit from the photograph. If the light were behind you, you'd have a much more powerful capture. Also, the composition is a bit too centered.

Not all that intersting of a composition. Maybe tighter crop on the shed?

Glad you put a title to explain your meaning. The title really helped me understand
