First impressions:
1-Boring composition, looks very "snapshotty"

2-Bland lighting/tones

3-Very nice, excellent. Perhaps a polarizer could bring out the clouds. That or just a bit deep blue in the sky would be nice.

I didn't like any of them.
Sorry.

Contrast and color was lacking, not really interesting subjects...

I really like the simple composition of number 3. Beautiful location and sky.

I agree with Glass on 1 and 2 .... but 3 if you got a little closer to the ground and maybe shot with a say 28 mm Wide angle and turned it B&W you might have something..... if you go back.... try it out ....

i dont mean to sound like an asshole but ive learned a little bit about composition from looking at critiques on here AND getting critiqued myself...

Take a picture as if its costing you 100 bux and you'll come out with nothing but the best....... unless you have that kind of money lol

The second one really bugs be because the edges of the door clash with the edges of the frame? Make it look more deliberate.

Also......is that a graduated blue filter....? I'm not into that for that shot. A solid filter or none at all, but not a graduated one.

Either that or it's just funky lighting and I look like an asshole now.

The third one is very nice, though. Very nice.

no apologies necessary I encourage feedback you wont hurt my feelings I promise

1. is a snapshot, guess I got all wrapped up in the moment of finding that hole in the fence, in fact all of these are snapshots I was looking over my shoulder pretty much the whole time I was in there

2. no filter, handheld, available light only, I think there was a window w/mini blind and blue wall behind me in this barracks corridor

3. I only wished I was there at sundown, shot is looking north, wish I could have exaggerated the perimeter fence stretching out over the horizon better somehow and kept the lone bldg in the shot

If I went back what should I (or would you) do differently (I know old missile bases arent as cool as dark asylums and there were no antique chairs in dark hallways)

I've photographed three NIKE bases, and I think the best shots I've taken are super long exposure night-shots.

I think number one could have been a little better composed, and the shot would have improved. I love the sky in the 3rd one but it too should be zoomed in on so you have a tighter composition.
