Certainly urban decay - I find it a little soft though and the crop towards the top is a bit awkward with the top left piece of barbed wire 'hanging' - but overall a nice image.

I totally agree about the composition. Once I got it posted up here, I thought I should have paid more attention to the top of this shot. Thank you!

Ana said 706 days ago:

Oh, and it was taken with my little Kodak Easy Share. That might attest to the softness.

Overall a very striking image. What I especially like is the abandoned building and the presumably abandoned building also to the left. I also really like the look of the fencing and while the building and fencing both look urban, the one small caveat I have is that the empty parking lot itself (at least in my impression) diminishes just a tad the urban feel... that size of lot (or at least as big as it appears) suggests more of a "suburban" sort of decay. Obviously, it can and likely IS very urban... I am just saying my gut impression says it is a little less urban because of the space. Overall and EXCELLENT image.

This is an un-used Amtrack Passenger Train Station in a very poor/decaying part of the city. Thank you for the comments.

A great example of urban decay! The chained up fence really adds to the feel and the choice to go B&W here is excellent!
