Abandoned Flower Mill in Maryborough, Queensland, Australia. The bottom floor is now used as a second hand goods store. I asked permission and was warmly given permission to explore the rest of the building.

Not sure this composition works for me.
Foreground is very harsh/bright, not resembling anything to do with flour, and the background creates an second focal point that competes too much. Perhaps if it were in B&W it may be better.
Glare from the windows is distracting, and makes the eye want to focus there (where it is blurry). This is compounded by the fact that I have no idea what that red thing is in the dirt.
The light and color on the dirt as it transitions into shadow is nice, though.
In my opinion this building does not look abandoned. It looks like a basement being excavated. Perhaps more DoF would hav made for a better photo so the background looked a little more clear.
