| | | | Excellent work. Seriously good, nice shots, not cliched at all. The composition is superb.
#1 is perfect. Don't touch it.
#2 is really nice technically (ignore anyone who might bitch about 'blown highlights' - it's only highlights that are an integral part of the photograph that matter). I love that there's just enough detail to make out the lightbulb. It's a bit oversharpened.
#3 is almost a good shot - it's almost perfectly square, but a bit off, and (I'm guessing you were really close, with a really wide aperture) the centre's not completely sharp. Nice idea, it's almost there.
#4 is great, nice lines, good tones, I just wish the light was off to the left side rather than where it is. It just seems a bit off-balance as is. Otherwise great.
#5 and #6 are brilliant. My only complaint (easily remedied if you agree, if not ignore this) is that the colour is so yellow. I understand that that's the way it was while you were there, but getting rid of most of the tungsten colour, just leaving a hint, will make them much easier on the eyes, and still give the feeling of the dank lighting if you leave some of it there. #6 seems to have a bit of blue and magenta fringing going on in the bricks in the background, but it's fairly easily corrected.
Killer work, keep it up. 1, 5 and 6 are absolutely great, and very much unlike the average ue photo as well. If you keep shooting like this, please post photos more often.
yep. |

| | | | Awesome shots
Overall I really like the yellow tones going on. The photographs are really good.
Number 2 has a bit of an issue with the light in it. It is really gray compared to the surrounding, almost to dark. The space around it looks amazing though.
Number 4 could probably use some of the bottom pipe being cropped out. I don't think it really helps and its loss I think would make the photo nicer!
I totally love number 3 though. It is my favourite! Excellent photographs!!

| | | | I think they are great.
#1 bothered me a bit because I thought it was almost perfect, so I copied it, threw it in photoshop and rotated it 1.25 CCW and liked it much better.
#2 seems oversharpened and the blown out bits bother me. I find it too harsh.
#3 doesn't really do anything for me
the rest are absolutely stunning! especially #4

| | | | That's very cool. I do really like the grime of it.
I've decided I don't much like uber close up shots of a detail on a wall or something because they just don't give a feel of the location, but in your case I make an exception because you've tied the whole set together well.
It seemed like a good idea at the time... |

| | | | Super sharp, nice warm colors, no technical issue whatsoever.
#4 is a little weak in my opinion. And by weak I mean "not as good as the other ones".

| | | | Add 17 and 18 from the set in the other forum, replacing 2 and 3 from this set, and you've got a killer set (*this is solely an opinion of course).
yep. |

| | | | I'll try not to repeat what mortimer said too much but he was bang-on with just about everything he said.
1. Great colors and tones here, and well composed, but the middle seems sharper while the right side seems to be a hair out of focus. Might be an aperture problem... or if it was intentional then I don't like it 
2. I instantly thought it was over-sharpened too... the edges of the light and the stairs make it obvious. Again, colour and composition are great.
3. Would be a decent shot if it were sharper.
4. An interesting shot because there are so many texture transitions from top to bottom, and I think those gritty pipes in the centre are the most interesting and well-lit which makes them a good subject. Nice job.
5. Not a fan of this one at all... the exit sign looks too modern, and looks like it was masked out of whatever you used to give the colour cast to the rest of the photo.
6. The light-play in this shot is spectacular... I would have cropped a bit more of the floor out to balance it and get that scale in absolute dead centre, but beyond that I love this shot. And I disagree with mortimer here and think that the colour tint adds volumes to this shot.
Great work guy! Thanks for posting.
