couldn't decide whether to keep the barbed wire fence in the shot to frame it a little. wasn't sure how voters would have appreciated too much art work. anyway, don't think this will be doing all that well.

This is a very interesting building. I think that the scene you captured here is lovely despite being old and broken.
Your focus and clarity are really nice. I like the detail you show us in the panels and roof.
I think I have to agree with most of the commenters and say that I don't prefer the black 'frame' on the top and bottom. Is this the fence you were talking about? I think that instead of the black, I would prefer to see some more of that nice blue sky. I think it would compliment the rusty red nicely, but as is, we can't really see much of it.
I like the barrel in the lower left corner. I think that adds a bit of something to look at without making it too busy.
Lighting is simply wonderful. It looks like it was a very beautiful day to be taking photos. There is only one shadow from the roof to the left that is really noticable and it's not a distraction in my opinion.
Overall I like this image a lot (minus the black top and bottom). ~Heather~
Pretty good composition and well seen.
The black borders are hurting this image and a wider aspect crop would have looked better in my opinion. We aren't stuck to 640x480. 640x640, 640x512, 640x480, 640x400 and even 640x320 are fairly popular sizes
Good photograph of the building. Technically an excellent capture. Nothing leaps out and grabs me. It is a very busy shot and I found my eyes jumping all over the photo, not settling on one point of interest. Perhaps a different crop on one section building. Looks like my neighborhood.
