A really gorgeous room with a great mood of light; The moss carpet adds the little extra to it. While the shot itself is already nicely done in terms of technique and astethics, it might benefit from an higher focal distance , to to hide more of the foreground trash and the ceiling so the focus is clearly on the mossy carpet and the windowside. Also have an eye on falling lines.

Glad to see that there are great outdoor urbex shots like this one out there as most of them are interior ones. A stormfront nicely framed in a decayed balcony with a great view - Well done, love it !

While the location itself is already great, straight lines, a great composition and the warm colours add up to this moody square. Its like standing in there and experiencing the beauty and atmosphere of this place for yourself. Well done !

This is an example how to create an outstanding picture from a simple subject. It almost feels three-dimensionally and I caught myself wandering around with my eyes for several minutes following all the paths that lead in and out. What a great composition !

Its not easy to create authentic artworks when combining derelict places with a model. The combination between model and location has to be balanced and coherent - which was done perfect here. A natural scene, great atmosphere and also nicely framed. Great work !

I really enjoy this one. While the collapsed window itself or the poster girl outside alone would be nothing special, both together add up to a great image. Apart from the fact that she´s looking directly into the camera through the window, its a new interpretation of a "beauty in decay". Nice work and well seen !

Definitely one of my favorite window shots - Perfect lines and a great mood. The warm colours create a comfortable, autumnal atmosphere, while the windows lead your eye to the tree, which is the only thing not straight in the whole image. A beautiful view!

Urbex is an exciting form of urban exploration photography that often focuses on capturing the haunting and little-seen sights inside and around decaying or abandoned structures. Be sure to research the safety of the location before you go, and any security the building may have in place.
