| So sad. This was one of my favorite stores, too. I like the darkness of this picture, it really sets a sombre mood. My only suggestion would be to frame it so that the sign was further to the right. I feel like i am moving quickly out of the frame with it so close to the right edge. karmat |

| Was this taken at night, it seems very dark and those lights at the bottom make me wonder. I have no idea who Montgomery Ward are, do I need to know before I can judge this or is it just a generally run down looking building. Sorry, not sure about this at all. |

| This picture is a little too dull for my liking. The image itself is quite powerful; perhaps a hint of colour would have added atmosphere – even sepia perhaps? The darkness of the image was – I think – intentional in order to add drama, but it only seems to remove detail rather than add ambience. Sorry, I hate being negative, but I think the message was great, but it got lost somewhereâ€Â¦ |

| I like the atmosphere. Very LA Confidential-ish, even. |

| The sky is a little too light - makes the subject of the photo too dark. And the bright light in the bottom left is very distracting. |

| Ft. Worth? nice shot, but I wish it were a tad brighter... |

| This could have been a terrific shot at perhaps a different time of day for better lighting. And perhaps a different angle to cut out the distracting trees and lights, just capturing the age and collapse of an empire... You had the idea, just not the time put into it... |

| Almost forgot about them. Dark and dreary, but little shy on contrast to make this a really stand-out photo. |

| I like the lighting in this photo...very ominious feeling to it. Possible improvements might include centering on the monkey wards sign, brightening a little to help out the contrast, and getting a perspective without the trees. Very strong on topic...good job! 7 Lisa |

| By cropping out the lights the story takes on a gloomier mood. Good idea though. |

| This is exactly what I had in mind when I thought of the challenge. I like repeating patterns, and the overall "moody" feel. I think I would have liked it better with the lights at the bottom cropped out - the lights give it a "lived in" feel, and I would have liked a little bit more of a "dark, desolate" feel. lhall |

| Difficult lightig situation... maybe spot metering the signage may have produced a better exposure |
