Look like they could be cool photos, but the light is pretty intense on both of them. I'm not a real photographer like some of these guys, but I'm thinking a polarized filter might have helped you here. Something to reduce the glare, ya know?

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.

A polarizer wouldn't do much in this case (it reduces glare from non-metallic objects, ie: it would have let even more light in through the glass). But the blown-out, washed out look really works in the first one. It's got kind of a low-budget horror look to it. Nice shot.

yep.

Yeah, I liked the first one better. The second didn't turn out quite as I would have liked it to.

I definitely agree that the first one is better. It really has a creepy vibe to it, you almost don't want to know what is on the other side of that window. The excessive light isn't working as well in the second one.

I would fix it, but the shot came out with too much from with window.

I really like the first one. It seems to show the age of the place.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

I like the look of the first one, its just a shame the door knob wasnt on the right side. Great detail and damage from a life of operation as a door, the nicks and dings show up nice. Maybe dim just the window down a bit leaving the lumenence of the rest of the image alone, its brighter than the white border around the picture. The washed out window works in this shot, whereas the other one suffers from a purplish hazy overburst from the window.

First one I like as is, creepy vibe...wouldn't digitally blend it even if I had a darker exposure. Second one I would bracket and blend though.
