This made me laugh.
I do a lot of similar shots, and I like the 1 point perspective (1PP) on those old buildings. As an architectural photographer I enjoy them for the sake of it, but they do come with a problem. Regardless, good composition in interesting light, looks like late dusk? Other notes below.
The problem (and I don't have a solution, it's a problem for me as well) is that unless the viewer has a connection to that particular building, the photo lacks a gesture or emotion. It becomes documentary. Walk closer, find details in the building that tell the story of the building while conveying something more.
Karate School Mural
Eyes tend to go towards the light, in this case that street light takes us straight out of the photo.
Interesting old building in Anniston, AL
I really like the toning here but the building isn't giving you much to work with...
Diagonals
I hate this because in a 1PP I want everything square. I love it because it makes me hate it.
Loading Dock Steps
I think this needed to be square, which will emphasize the steps falling apart at the bottom.
Sunset Reflections in Old Store Windows
Another one that isn't giving you a lot to work with. A longer lens and the sunset in the second floor windows could be interesting.
Lacy Shadows, Silver Chapel, Fort McLellan
Crop it and fix the verticals. What's the dirty parking lot for?
Beauty in Ugly
I do like the lines and the colors, but the "almost" 1PP becomes a problem. I'd probably shoot it a bit looser then fix verticals in post.
Windows like piano keys, windows like mirrors.
Too much dead space up and down for me. I'd shoot landscape so you can see those piano keys through the window, but get more detail out of the broken pane.
Old Building in Warm Streetlight
This is a pretty dull light for a whole building. Shoot a detail with a harsh shadow.
Medders Gro
And I like the harsh shadows here, but I'd try and crop out or burn out the inside lights.
The Loading Dock
Not sure here...
Madden Poultry
Again I really like the toning here. Need to fix converging lines, and tighten up on the building. The street? doesn't add anything. A tighter shot will catch more of the light and shadow.
Nice, series Neurad1. Kind of interesting light in these shots. You may be a rookie, but you are certainly trying. Very trying. Don't be discouraged if no one else comments. Do this for yourself. Let it be a creative outlet in your otherwise excruciatingly boring life. Carry on, brother.
Just keep shooting and keep studying the light. Creating the interesting out of the mundane is very, very difficult.
