I like this one better with the tighter crop, nice presentation.

A wheelchair in an abandoned building. Boo hoo

 

This is like a visual entry in the Bulwer-Lytton contest for the best worst purple writing ("it was a dark and stormy night").

 

The layered doors look a lot like the cover of Polidari's Chronophagia.

Nice composition and black and whiteness. Love the baroque scallop door frame. But I feel that the image is too sentimental and obvious. The wheelchair and the gloomy desolation is just too trite. I suppose we can be grateful that there is no one actually in the chair.

The photo is technically excellent: pin sharp and a gorgeous range of greys. The image is a wonderful display of past decadence, and the story that the property was turned into a disabled asylum before falling to ruin is clear to see. The poignancy is in the knowing that someone since deceased would have once been in that wheelchair at that place heading down the corridor, at a time when the building would have been busy with people. But despite all this the perfection of the image imbues a sterility and completely cuts away the ghost of a human presence, leaving the image emptier than it ought to feel.

I think I would like this one better without the wheelchair. It seems like an added prop and doesn't fit the scene, at least, for me.

I have to agree, the chair looks set up, however I would still use the chair in this image.

 

Perhaps way in the back, as it my be a focal point leading our eyes to the back of the image.

 

Another suggestion is place the chair in one of the other rooms, toppled over, partially exposed.

Gio,excellent display of an old building with a wheelchair to remind us of our limitations. Great presentation.

I don't care for this photo because to me wheelchairs represent possibilities and, in this environment, the wheelchair is associated in a cliché and sad way with decline. This reinforces a dead stereotype instead of showing me something meaningful.

Grande composizione,bellissima immagine resa con un perfetto BN!Complimenti Giovanni!

I like the sharp and bw and detail,nice and crisp all the way to the distance but, the wheelchair looks awkwardly placed. I wonder if it was placed at the back would it be more significant to the scene? As though the wheels stuck and unable to maneuver in the decay? Just an idea.

It is a dark world imaged, Remove the wheelchair and you bar entry. Add a figure to the chair and you make it more interesting. The doors within doors is a good device. Cinematographic even.

very nice documentary shoot
