Really cool looking building and I love the shape of the roof. If you could have eliminated some of the trees it would be better

Too bad the trees got in the way. I would of scored it a little bit higher if I was able to see the building much better.

I like the framing on this, and the way the collapsed roof is splayed out like wings.

This is a neat image! I like how you caught the top of the building in the shot and the building is really abandoned. and then the trees are pretty cool becasue they are shapr and very green.

Oh wow! How cool is that! But I can't imagine how anyone could let an awesome building like that just go. Makes me wish I had a million dollars to fix it up and keep it!

Very interesting building but the trees block most of it and in my opinion are very distracting.
