This picture was taken from an abandoned warehouse just east of downtown Detroit. To me it tells a story of the industrial boom of Detroit in large part due to the auto industry's history in the city, the decay of the city as industry declined in the city, and the revitalization of the new Detroit symbolized by the GM World Headquarters located in the Renaissance Center building downtown. The old car appears to be lifeless as it gazes through broken windows as downtown is being revitalized almost as if to tell the story of the city's past. So in a sense, this is an historical "perspective" (view as well as point of view) as the past frames the present and future.
This is my first entry and my first attempt to explain this photo. All input is helpful and sought. Thank you.

meets the challeng well, the broken glass window adds to the emotion feel, but foreground needs more light (flash?) and too much of the frame is taken up by that dark form at lower left, I can't tell what it is; is that Ren Cen in the bg?
I can't figure out what that big lump of darkness is but I find it extremely distracting if your framing consists of the window and buildings to the right.
I would love this photo if it just consisted of the top right quarter of what you have here. I have no idea what that big dark thing in the foreground is and it doesn't seem to be essential to the shot. I really like what you were doing here since the contrast between what's inside and what's outside is so high.
