    I dont think I'm seeing the sadness in this but I do see emptyness and abandonment.
    Is it the (hanging?) chappie that gives you this feeling? I would prefer it if the post up the middle was not there. Perhaps it's not a post but a return on the brickwork wall.
    I think a human interest would be good here. In other words having someone there who should not be there. A trespasser, up to no good, might then give it a sadness feeling.
    That's how I see it Seb.

    Re: Sadness

    Seb, the sadness is from the painted man on the wall with a frown on his face? This is not bad, but I am not feeling anything strong to make me interested for too long. The lighting is ok, but not too dramatic, but as Tom said, maybe having something else like a human figure standing out there would provide further food for thought. Still, it has qualities about it that work well with the rest of the series.

    Hello guys, thanks for commenting. While I feel comfortable about this composition I now realize that I should restart my post processing from scracth. The lighting is too muted and hurts the mood that I wanted to capture when I saw this.

    regards
