    A difficult lighting situation, you did well holding the sky.This is a good composition,I really like the colors of that metallic sheen.There is an excellent sense of depth as well.
    Nice shot.

    You will probably also like that I shot it with the 420 and the 14-42 kit lens auto everything.

    All I did post processing is decrease contrast, open up the shadows a tad and slightly bump the saturation.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Good composition. I like the shape that the top part of the induces. The slight angle I believe makes it a stronger photograph.

    Have you considered a b/w or slighly desaturated treatment? This could amplify the effect of the conjunction of the lines and space in this image.

    B&W seems to sort of work, I really opened up the shadows for this one and reduced the brightness.

    I too like the look this has with the ceiling in frame.

    Re: The Broken Escalator.

    On this one I prefer the color (though I'm a fan of B&W) the color gives depth with the blue sky and clouds. For me the clouds also provides balance with the wall on the right.

    Please don't edit and re-post or use my images (not that you'd want to anyway...). without my written permission. Thank you
