The perspective here is brillant and I love the contrast between, home vs (please give me a better word) rogue. Nicely balance and iloike the darkness and vignette here.

The colors pop here but it's too dark. Also, I feel you have two subjects that compete for attention - the dark building and the artwork on the left.

I like the contrast between the sharp fresh grafitti andthe derelict building and the lighting on the fence and building is superb.....7

This one is weird. It feels like I'm looking at two different scenes, but in one shot. I think overall, the gloom feeling is right on. But the fence is a little bright for me. I probably would have burned that down a little(hey, was that a pun? :-) No vote, I'm in this one.
