Very nice. It almost reminds me of an HDR image, the way the contrast in the sky comes out. The building was a good subject, with a lot of information all across the front and side. The editing makes it look as though it was abandoned and gutted, but the outside remains relatively intact. It just seems as though if you were to enter one of those windows, it would be vacant. There isn't any signs of life on the outside, either, adding to the foreboding feel of it.

My only suggestion would be to maybe crop it inward slightly. I downloaded the making of and saw you warped the image, and now there are black spots at the top and bottom. Unless you don't mind that. XP

Nice work, though.

Originally I intended to crop it correctly, but when I tried I discovered that in the cropped version the front building was way too big, ruining the composition. So I decided to crop it only slightly (you'll notice that the original angles do not appear anymore) and stick with it. BTW I'm starting to like the effect that those black archs give.

Fair enough. XP I know the feeling of the composition getting messed up. It's a lovely image though, the archs give the image a sort of border while keeping them from being distracting.

Yep, we really were on our way to the airport... actually it was a bus, not a car.
