Great textures and good use of shadow. Wow. What a range of textures and light you have in this composition. It looks like the combination of a few white blocks with the light on the left of the photo cause one block in particular to be blown out. Outside of this challenge I'd like to see that one area on the left of the image spot edited as I think you could really have a nice piece of artwork with this image. - 8
Very beautiful picture, well done in b/w. Fits the idea of the challenge very well. My one nitpick is the plant at the bottom right, it's too "juicy" to fit the idea of desolation. The vines on the old stone and brick are just beatiful, as is the tile roof. ~9
Good use of lighting and I like the way the frame is filled. The abandoned building is a little cliche for this challenge but you've done an admirable job with it.
