 Very scarry building with a lot of warnings on the door -- I cropped, rotated a bit, USM, adjusted hue/saturation to dim bricks and keep the wacked coloring of the door and surround. Added a border.

I hope I conveyed the feeling of the building in the photograph -- the building definately commands authority when standing infront of it as if saying not to enter.

Not sure I'd want to enter if it wasn't abandoned either.

Scary concept. I would have liked to been able to read the signs, so I would have cropped this closer and maybe had a face looking out from one of the windows to up the intensity. I was almost afraid to look too closely at the windows for fear that that is precisely what I would see.

Good use of selective desaturation. Makes the image rather spooky.

I don't think there is a strong connection to authority, more symbolic.

Technical: Sharpness, exposure, and contrast is good.
Artistic: Again, very tastefully executed. Good perspective and crop.

Overall: This is a great photo that unfortunately does not make a strong connection with the challenge theme.

a tighter crop, so we could read the signs might have been nice

as i can't really read the sign, all i'm left with is an image of a door. does not really hit the challenge for me.
