    Abandoned Dynamite Plant (pic attached)
    There's an abandoned dynamite plant near where I work and it's one of my favorite locations. Workers are currently in the process of tearing it down and I've been spending a lot of time there trying to get as many pictures as I can before it becomes a strip mall with a Gap and a Starbucks. Shot on Delta 400 with my Leica. I really forget my settings though. Sorry.

    It's an "ok" shot but there's nothing to that stands out to make it a good shot. You've got a lot of blank featureless sky that could be eliminated to put more emphasis on the subject. I do like the way the pipe in the lower left grabs my attention though.

    I think that there is more interesting subjects closer to the building. I like the subject, but there is not much to hold my attention. I like the sky and gray tones because they add to the feeling of desolation and abandonment.
    I would try to get closer to the building or inside if possible for more interest. Keep with the B&W because it really works for this subject.
    Good job, but it could be stronger
    Cheers.
