Nice low angle for a striking view of the looming desolation. V

This is really good. Really depressing, but really good. Even without the caption it tells a succinct story of urban decay. I like the positioning, shooting from down on the ground where those without a livelihood sometimes fall to, yet still providing a passage out as the eye passes up through the image. A path that leads to... something as yet unknown.

Wow, this PoV is really awesome. Love the crumbles, trash, weeds and graffiti... you've certainly made your point. V

Excellent focus, tonal range and low angle of capture. An image with a dark and depressing mood but displaying excellent perspective and DOF. Voted+

Great angle for maximum strengt. Yesterday I saw a documentary about computers taking over jobs, and they showed pictures of the Kodak plant in Rochester and some plant in another country.

Perfect perspective for capturing this scene of desolation. Again, that toning really adds to the mood, too. V.

Great with this low perspective, focus on the foreground and depth of field. All that plus tones and location make for an arresting image. "V"
