I like the first.
The second is really unbalanced, but still neat.
The third looks too processed.

Hope that's sufficient!

Nice framing on number 1. Great photo overall.

2 is great. I love the movement the pipes give to the photo, and how your eye keeps flowing toward the center. Interesting textures, as well.

I'm not quite so into 3. There's a bit of a halo around the subject, and i really don't like it. The grime on the tiles is awesome, though.

1. I like the first one the best. I really like the dim/bright golds and yellows. Best one of the three.

2. I like it, but the two giant pipes on the ceiling force your eye away from the visual center of the pic, being the blue barrel.

3. I didn't like this one really at all. As it stands it looks way to processed, and IMO you should of been burning that crib(or darkening) instead of dodging it. The halo really doesn't do anything, it impacts the picture negatively.

I like #3 the best. . . .I think this new style of post processing works best with that.

Somehow, with the others, it doesn't seem proper.


A little more light (esp to bring out that gorgeous floor) in #2 and leveling would probably make that my favorite, I think.

#1 has a lot of grime, but I'm getting fatigued of seeing those things!

I like them all....3 is very over processed as mentioned before and the window or whatever it is in the background clashes with the border and also draws my attention away from the main subject because its the brightest thing in the photo...A little crop would do some good....Keep em coming though....Id love to see more

I like how number 2 is crooked because it makes it feel like I am walking towards the left in the photo rather than straight down the middle towards the vanishing point.

i like exploring

I like number 1, because it has a good focal point. The gauge is at nothing, the light is so warm. It looks dirty, yet tranquil. In this lies a certain beauty of abandonment which you capture well.

2- Number 3 may be more ultimately processed, but here it just doesn't work. The lighting is so busy between the artificial black and the overexposure. The lines aren't straight, and the amount of light on the pipes in the foreground also looks artificial. Light has overpowered the blue object, and it looks almost trivial as a focal point.

3- With an interesting subject and warmer light, one cares less about the processing. Black decay surrounds this relic in crusade, yet it refuses crumble. The container is still a bit dark (speaking in a literal, photographic sense). It was overprocessed too, but an worthwhile venture for the effect. Less of it could achieve the same thing. And maybe then people would overlook the processing.

Nothing interests me much about #1. I can see you are using a decent camera, there's nothing in particular wrong with the composition, but nothing strikes me as really right about it either

#2 is a really great image once you fix it so its not crooked, I'd be really proud of it.

#3 might be ok if it had a much more natural and even look. Most of it is so dark I can't see any detail and the halo around the crib just looks silly.
