    The green bottle looks out of place in that environment.
    Plant a tree, help it grow. Children need something to climb.
    Critique any picture; any where; any time.

    If I'd known you wuz there, I'd uv ashed you in for a little nip or two.:eek6:

    That doesn't help with critique though.
    The picture is very drab and gloomy. That is as it should be. Seems like a documentary type shot to me and the only thing I would like to see is the building more off center...probably farther right.
    Keep Shooting!

    That green bottle is distracting ... I guess I need to go back and reshoot.

    Yeah it is a tad centered. Maybe crocked too, but I really can't tell for sure.

    I used to live in a neighborhood that wasn't so hot, but thankfully not this bad :shocked: This is the Sunken City area of Bombay Beach and these homes are not lived in, but some of the actual homes in Bombay Beach aren't that much better ...

    Years back I remember people saying, that is the 'bomb'! when something was cool. then it turned into, that is the 'bombay!' If someone says to me, "that is the bombay! you have to try it." I will take no part in it after seeing these pictures! haha

    ps

    Can't stop staring at that green bottle. You definitely have to reshoot this and take me with you.
