To shoot for interesting lines and shapes is an exercise in form for the sake of form. What I call "Level Two" imaging. Yet this image has the potential to express an idea, had you stressed the fact that this building seems to be weeping rust. (Or perhaps even bleeding rust.) On one hand, we see tiny plants emerging from the cracks between its stones. On the other, we see the incongruous red stain spreading below the window and dripping on down the facade out of the image. If you had concentrated more on juxtaposing the incongruity of life (green) vs death (brown) and less on the graphic effects created by the frames within a frame, you would have been able to make this image into an extremely expressive, and unique, image.
