This is an abandoned cotton gin in what once was a farm community. It just sits there and has the most wonderful light coming through those old delapidated windows. I have gone there before and plan on going back to shoot portraits inside. It's amazing.

puzzled and I had a mini GTG here in Copenhagen a while ago, I had found an old abandoned house only a week or so earlier, and that is where we went first. There is something special about abandoned houses, but they are hard to find, let alone enter in the city. Guess being in the country is easier.
Very nice one, and the bright coloured world on the outside.

I found myself trying to scroll to see the "rest" of the top of the image. The black surround makes it seem like there's a border. I wonder if you could have gotten an angle from further left to hide the pole and then clone out the power lines? The broken glass is interseting as a foreground element.

I like this a lot. I probably would have rotated it so that the edge of the building outside was parallel to the side of the picture, but I don't think I could've done better with the shot.

Ooooh, I like this one! The broken windows and that old structure (silo?) in the background are so interesting. I also like the way you've put an uneven amount of the wall space on either side. Too bad that power line pole is in the background, though - but I guess it would've been a bit much to move for a stupid challenge, eh? :-)

good idea, but you have cut of the top of the window and that way it kind of makes you feel that you did it in a bit of a hury ? 5

Wonderful! I love the feeling of looking through old and broken down. . to the fresh blue sky and greens outside. This is one of my favorites here!

I like the idea, but the image seems so suddenly "cut off" at the top.
