|  | | | I normally dont take very good photos partially because Im not that great and partially because I use a digital with pretty much no options these days. Despite all of that, I really like the way this one came out. I love old radiators!

|  | | | Heya. Nice photo!
My only suggestion is try to isolate the subject more in this case. The coke can on the right, and the line (must be a door or window) is distracting.
In some cases, other elements of photos help layer the composition, but in this case, they detract from the centerpiece: The obviously uber-cool embossing on this iron radiator.
Goooooo Radiators!
(definitely much better than stucco).

| | | | I'm with tunnelbug. Get more of the radiator and less of the background, and you're golden. Nice subject!
I have changed my personal exploring ethics code. From now on it will be: "Take only aimed shots, leave only hobo corpses." Copper scrappers, meth heads and homeless beware. The Jonsered cometh among you, bringing fear and dread.

| | | | Thanks, if I remember correctly I wanted to scoot over a little farther but there were some stuffed animals on the ground. I do appreciate the comments.
Oh and Tunnelbug, look here http://www.uer.ca/...urrpage=1&pp#post6
It almost looks like you took that pic in my hallway!

|  | | | Same thing you said to me...who am I to reply at this point? 
But I do love it. I absolutely love the scrollwork on that thing!
Good Job!

| | | | I would just crop out the can. Cool shot, not the MOST interesting shot I've ever seen, but a great start!

| | | | I love the shot. I think if you'd put the scroll work in the top right corner, and had more of the shadow, that would have been wicked cool. But I really dig it.
It seemed like a good idea at the time. |

| | | | I think it's great. Though I'd crop it a little and remove the pop can.
Yay for you posting!!
Can't wait to see more!
It's a tragedy.
It's exactly like a greek tragedy.

| | | | Sorry.. Not impressed with the composition, though I do like old radiators. The image is also a bit soft and could use some sharpening.

1 - The top part is distracting. Also, I would try black and white since the subject is so graphic.
2 - I like this one, but I would have pulled that stupid pink thing out of there. I would DEFINITELY try this in B&W because it would probably make that pink thing much less distracting and the subject is, again, really graphic and has a lot of abstract shapes in it.

| | | | Yeah... Pink is definitely not a cool color to highlight in urbex photography
Nothing against pink, urbex just isn't its forte.

| | | | Actually, I think the unexpectedness of pink in an abandoned environment would be great. But a pink ribbon draped haphazardly over a bunch of radiators all smashed together is, uh... not so much.

It's too busy. Maybe a macro picture with less a harsh depth of field would treat the pink better.

yes. alas, sometimes I'm sarcastic and it's not quite sarcastic enough to be funny. Then I go in a corner and cry.
I do believe pink is a good color, but it's more difficult to find the right composition in Urbex photography (or color in general for that matter). I've utilized it many times.

| | | | lol, about the pink ribbon, I would slap it into photoshop and try to make the pic black and white with it still pink, might look cool.
As for the cropped version, I would try to change your perspective/composition a little, it would spice up the shot
