    No Trespassing (Part 2)

    I'm not into this shot as much as my original "No Trespassing" picture but this a closer look at the mysterious X-Files building.

    As you can see, they do not want you to trespass or else you will see what leaves the strange black building which quickly becomes cargo on the train. How convienient for a building to be built next to train tracks. What is being loaded on the train for mass distribution? Hmmmmm?

    What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas

    Opinions on the shot are appreciated but I personally think it's too busy. Do you agree?

    Though a bit grey or flat the image stands out for me because of its perspective. I love roads that dwindle with distance.

    Also, the flatness is somewhat negated by the clouds' shadows on the hills. It'd be hard to judge where those clouds are without a shadow and that alone adds depth to this. Because I can make out that the clouds are deep in to the picture and not hovering over the building for example.

    Overall, I think this needs a little punch in the contrast area to make it stand out even further. But like I said, the perspective makes me like it as is as well.

    Nice depth, and the sky and clouds are outstanding. But the subject of the photo seems very weak... not sure if anyone would care too much about such a building (unless they worked there or so). It might have been great as a background for a shot of a friend standing on the road (keeping an eye out for cars) acting like they're hitchhiking.

    Definitely a great range of colors and the only thing that I find "too busy" is the electrical power standard in the middle of the frame. If it would be possible to remove that, I think it would benefit the shot greatly. Great colors though and I love the look your going for. Good job.

    Honnestly, I think that it lacks direction. Your angle is good (I like how you use the road) and the sky is great but I don't care for the building and the power lines. Moreover, it is too busy for me.
