Motts, did you touch up the colors in photoshop, or is this how it actually looked?

Stained

Grace

judoka275, yeah, it also reminds me of that one part in Equilibrium just before he tears the plastic film off the window and is crying because the world looks so beautiful and it really impatcs him because he's never felt emotions before.

Concrete

Grace

*writes some really bad emo poetry as if I'm inspired by the darkness*

Sorry, had to take it.

Shadows

Grace

Very striking image. Once again, you are the master of the dual focal points and light.

Hall

Grace

I like the general muted quality of the image and then the fact that certain colors pop out. The lighting is superb.

Pace

Grace

This is my favorite shot in the group.

Acceptance

Motts... if you ever need a model and are in Vegas...

>_>
<_<

Silence

Grace

For a shoot like this with a model, I personally prefer the black and white shots. It adds an eerie quality and makes it much more surreal instead of putting it into the realm of reality which the color shots instantly do for me.

As for this shot, once again, beautiful lighting. The position of her body is excellent. And I love the shape and texture of the bed clothes.

Heavenly Light

Grace

I love the patterning of the wall against her wings. The lighting is excellent as well.

Last Look

Grace

Btw... I typoed my name... how bloody embarassing.

Frame

Grace

I think this is my favorite shot from this gallery. So many impressions can be taken from this shot. It's "message" is very ambiguous, but it's definitely a shot that says something about the artist and about the building.

Three Doors

Grace

I like that the rectangular shape is repeated almost obsessively in this shot. It gives you a sense that you're going crazy and there's no place to escape.

Exercise Room

Grace

I dunno... I find it much more calming. Basically because of the sense that it's overcast outside, and the fact that I grew up down the street from a place that was an old clock tower, so, I guess I'm imposing childhood memories on this too. :P

Decrepit

Grace

One again, the duel focal points. I love it.

Empty

Grace

It would be cool to distort the color of this shot to enhance the green. Normally, I'm a purist and don't like shots being altered, but I think highlighting the green would really make this shot pop your eyes out! :)

Crumble

Grace

I love the fact that this shot is timeless. The building could be 1,000 years old or 50 years old.

Plank

Grace

Love this shot. It's got a strange sort of distortion to it. Wide angle lense?

Arrow

Grace

This is the most interesting of the photos, in my opinion. The sky and the way the vertical and diagonal work together is nice.

Corner

Grace

The solid blocks of color make this photo really interesting. I like how the sky is very blue, but the asylum has kind of muted colors. That little brush of ivy in the center really pops off the brick. Very nice.

Orange

Grace

Love this shot. I'm glad you didn't adjust it. It's perfect.

The Drive Up

Grace

I actually prefer the after shot better.

Drug Room

Grace

This makes me hate Wal-Mart even more.

Devastation

Grace

I like the three layers through the window. It add an interesting perspective, and confuses the eye a bit.

Bridged

Grace

The angle of the photo and the way the sky looks in the background are breathtaking.

Perspective

Grace

I really like the linear style of this one. It seems surreal, like a gingerbread house or something. Also, the addition of the black and white make even the plants look fake, like frosting.
