Greetings from the Critique Club.

First impressions is the grainy feel of an old horror movie!

Technically it's hard to tell if this is the result you were going for or it's gone a little wrong. Given your profile I'll assume this is what you had in mind. I find the composition awkward in that the building grabs my attention but the tree branches then immediately pull it away. The grainy movie look is done well but the processing has caused some halo effects around the building.

Artistically the is good. The look is not the usual DPC style. The POV could be a little more dramatic if you were a little closer to the building and that may also remove some of those branches.

In summary a unique shot that probably was a little to off the "DPC path" to score high.

Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.
Gerry

cool building and I'm guessing but I think you did the graininess on purpose...that given I like the weathered feel of the picture

interesting grainy shot. Be careful of creating halos around the buildings though, this normally happens to me when I push the contrast too far.
