The colors are really nice and I find it interesting that it seems like that's a closet full of painting stuff(maybe not but that's what I read it as) yet the paint is peeling off the walls all around. The rest have pretty blown out highlights and that bugs me but it doesn't bother everyone. I'm also not really a big fan of intentionally weird angles like in # 3.

However, I am definitely bothered by the blown out light in most of the pictures. I do like the angles in 3, but you should watch that blown out effect.... it can be used correctly a few times, but it has to be used right, like in 3!

Learning to bracket and blend will fix that right up. There's a great tutorial here 3 is actually my favorite. The angle is disorienting, and shows the vastness of the room. It's very effective in bringing out the feeling and holds my attention. 2 is nice, and the detail is captured well. The blowout messes it up for me though.

It feels like the stairs are WAY to close to the left - need more balance - think of the "Rule of 3rds" (http://www.digital...com/rule-of-thirds) 3. VERY well executed. A little hot on the windows (but could easily be played with to make more deliberate in post). A lot of people go slant, but the problem is they don't go FAR ENOUGH. 4. actually, this is a VERY interesting photo. I think you executed almost perfectly. You could have stepped back a little to get the chair in more (seems a little orphaned). Love the range of light ... adds a sense of "I want to go into the light". Love it ++ 5. Not really sure I agree on #5. I know its like a cardinal sin to not "modify" what you see in urbex, but hey ... we are all going to hell in some fashion. I might play with the setup a little .. to see what works. Overall ... love it. Just tweaking some stuff here and there will go a long way in print-worthy stuff, if that's what you shoot for. Keep it up!!

A few days after I got back from this trip I added the bracketing feature to my shooting setup, and have began to play around with it in my spare time (the HDR in the first photo actually was my first attempt to try and deal with blowout, not HDR, but I wasn't sure how far to push it while shooting for cleanup. Clearly not enough!) Cool, I think I'll begin to frequent this section of UER a little bit more. ;) If you want to protect the locations you love to explore, don't talk about them online in public!
