love this shot...the only part that seems off balance are the shadows on the right..but very relevant!! I like!

Hmmm, just a couple cut wires... should still work, right?

Not sure what the use of the selective coloring is here... I can't see that the photograph really benefits from it too much.

That's a bit of a mess there. Are the wires going off to the left going into the wall or are they just hanging there? The shallow depth of field makes it hard to tell.

Dave_Mac said 537 days ago:

Yup...just hanging there. This entire place is broken. It's an abadonned brick works factory in Toronto. Thanks for commenting.

kadenajack said 537 days ago:

Knowing they're just hanging there strengthens the impact for me. Wish I could have told that when I was rating.

Dave_Mac said 537 days ago:

Hey that's cool Kadenajack...it's all part of rating the shot. If you can't tell what's going on, than it's fair to rate the photo based on that weakness. I really appreciate hearing your feedback...it's so much more rewarding than just getting a low rating and wondering why, so thank you.

Incidentally, I kind of like the selective coloring. I know it doesn't help tell the story, but something about it, draws me in.

Also, I think what Ana calls shadows on the right is actually some graffiti. Looking at it a little closer, looks like you could just crop that off altogether.
