This is a 3 exposure HDR of the rear alley entrance to a Birmingham department store named Parisian that was bought out by Belk several years ago. This particular downtown location has been closed for many years.
Really pleased that this was well received. Thanks to everyone for all of the great comments and votes.

I'm a big fan of distressed materials. I think this image combines multiple distressed materials, the artist has emphasised the textures with the editing. The image also has a pleasing balance of primary colours with the grey wall. Overall I think it fulfilled the brief extremely well, lots of interesting details and textures.
Nice image though. Too much processing. Something happened in this challenge since I found more than 70% of the images pushed too much and thus losing quality.
Favorite of the dilapidated shots so far. This is a type of photography that I normally really like, so I tend to pay them more notice, and your entry has caught my eye out of the many in this challenge. Seems like it might be a bit overprocessed in some areas, but I still like this quite a bit.
