| | | | All of these are nice! They all show an industrial mess, except for #4. I like that shot for its simplicity.

| | | | Learn to level your tripod and get your lines straight. Most of these are shot at demented angles that make it look like you just set down your tripod, pointed your lens at your subject, and took the shot without bothering to compose through the viewfinder.
Also, its hard to give a critique when there are two dozen photos. Post fewer next time, just choose your favorites.

| | | | These are some very cool shots, I really like 1 the windows looks like they're pixels almost, 8 is also cool, 15 has a very interesting angle and 20 has amazing contrast, very good black and white. However 18 the flash is very apparent, I understand that there might not have been another way to get the shot, but to me the flash kind of ruins the image for me. Over all though very nice work.

Great location!

| | | | These arent SUPER great, but the thing is...this is the most beautiful place to explore that generates the shittiest pictures ever. You go, it looks AMAZING, you think you're getting amazing shots, and then you get home and realize that all your stuff is garbage. Multiple people have noticed this phenomenon.
So, taking that into account, these are fucking amazing. Certainly an order of magnitude better than anything I've ever shot there.

Looking through this gallery, I can't 100% agree with this. A photo doesn't have to be perfectly aligned to be interesting. For instance, the low angle in the door handle picture makes it. I also like the first shot. The second picture though is an example of an uneven shot, where everything is just a little too slanted.
