| I think this is a good attempt to convey something about the plant closing, and the dismal way it must feel to be in that area; I've had large plants (not auto) close near where I lived, and driving by them was like driving by a sad ghost town, and this was worse on dreary days; I get that dark feeling from your photo, though I think the composition comments (moving the sign from center) would probably help overall. |

| it's sad that all those people lost their jobs. I have a brother that lost his job at a Ford Plant that closed. |

| I think the darkness of the image helps convey the dark times the auto industry has been facing the past few years |

| I think this would look good cropped in a little as well. |

| Having grown up just outside of the Motor City (Detroit) I can assure everyone ... this is exactly what GM plants look like. They're not beautiful, but they sure do say a lot about the area. |

| Yes a little dark and the sign is a bit too centered but it looks like it was cold and you probably didn't want to walk around much to get the perfect shot. Good job. |

| I agree alittle dark but its nicely framed, the flag that is, so maybe just crop some on the right and it would help alot I think. |

| I agree with Megatherian about shooting closer to get a bit more detail of those markings. It's an interesting looking building with an interesting history I am guessing. |

Interesting subject. The flag inclusion of the flag is a nice touch.
Suggestions for improvement (IMHO): It's a little dark overall. With the way the signs are placed it seems a bit too centered, if you could have shot from a few hundred yards to you left it probably would have been a bit stronger compositionally.
There are some interesting markings on the front cement part of the building. I would have been tempted to shoot much closer to give them a lot more attention. |
