  Hello miniscott-

  I’ve got to admit to being slightly disappointed by this-
  I’m sure there is detail hiding in the shadows, but it’s all gone to black-
  I think more texture would be good, but I’d prefer to see it than imagine it…

  Judging by how you’ve framed it, it’s as much about the interior as the graffiti-

  I like the light streaming in, and it’s a good find-
  I wasn’t aware that building was open, must take a look sometime myself-

  I really like this,

  Well spotted.

  The lighting is brilliant, it depicts a very dusty dank place with
  the light beaming through the windows picking up the dust particals.

  The graffiti on the far wall is what makes the pic.

  Although there is a bit of detail to be seen in the shadows I feel
  I have to really work to see that, Maybe just lightening the shadows
  a tad just to reveal some more detail would improve the atmosphere.

  Nice one

  Thanks for the kind comments and critique Joseph and Alan.

  I will have a look at brightening up the shadows to reveal more detail and I might also add a little more contrast in these areas.

  How did you get in!!! I like this picture as it is. The photo is not about the shadows – and I’d think that lifting them would only detract from light streaming and the far wall.
