 I processed the same RAW file twice to get the sky and buildings.
The aim was to get a slightly grunge feel of night with some feeling of age.
Some will like this processing, and others will hate it.
I thought I would experiment, and am pleased with the look and feel

I gave this ten. Underrated IMO, the grunge night mood and kind of strange colors make this composition very special. I like it.

Very nice image. The colour is a smidge unrealistic to me, but overall.. very nice job.

Like something out of a graphic novel - you feel this place is full of interesting stories and characters. The odd colors, the glowering sky the grungy air. I like how the line of the fence leads the eye into the frame.

Another really nice image but IMHO it does not meet the challenge of creatively capturing an interesting photograph of architecture.

Awesome postprocessing though the sky looks a little weird.

Nice and moody, but the edges have a soft, uneven, blurred look to it that are pretty obviously from heavy post-processing. Just a small technical flaw though, as I like the picture itself

Using a new formula....
Meets the Challenge = 2
Technical Merit = 2
Holds Interest = 1
Creativity = 1
The "wow factor" = 0 (cropping off the lower fence portion would help)
Final score: 6

Great shot. Love the dramatic sky and the slightly creepy yellow colouring. Very strong image. Not much to criticize here other than the front fence which I find a little distracting.

The clouds look a little over processed, but I love the eerie feel to the photo.

All this needs is some broken windows and this would be the perfect scary building.
