A large section of the roof had caved in, and there was random junk and debris strewn about everywhere. This building has been torn down since this photo was taken.

Hehe, seems there is a radiator(?) about to crash from above, too ;] You have a good way of structuring the mess... one gets the impression of mess as well as seeing a well-structured picture, a mix of rubble and clear spaces to rest the eyes, and that sink is a good starting point to explore the room. Well-done on the desaturated colors, too :]

Thank you very much, that's a wonderfully insightful comment, and a nice change from the usual "nice shot" or "well done". Much appreciated. And I do enjoy the challenge of structuring a photo in a messy environment, it's fun to try to create order out of chaos.

You're welcome, I always try to write a little more details than just "nice shot". Not only that such comments are nicer to read for the artist, it also helps my own photography when I analyze what looks good in a photo.

I agree, I try to do the same. If I have nothing insightful or constructive to say about a photo, I'd rather say nothing at all.

Haha, I devote a lot of time to trying to come up with insights about every single deviation that shows up in my watchlist. Might be smarter to set priorities and write insightful comments on only a selected few instead of half-baked insights on every single one
