The composition of this photo is amazing. Leading lines, diagnals, rule of thirds..all great.

The only thing that doesn't work for me is the colours seem a little flat and dark. I get that it's not exactly an area that gets much light, but I feel like it needs to be either higher contrast/darker and/or a colour adjustment would help.

Personally, I would slightly raise the contrast and brightness, as well as adjust the red, blue, and green levels. I've found that in photos where the subject has more muted tones, changing the hue or levels brings a little more "life" so to speak, into them. Other than that, it really is a lovely photo.

...simply consider the title. Would fat and rich colours together with a higher contrast fit here? I say no.
It´s most probably the DA´s mainstream with this rich and nonsensible setup, that lets you see it that way. I am about to leave this path. The colours and contrast are just the way I want them to be.

I'm not saying rich colours and high contrast. Not at all. I was merely suggesting a little more contrast and small amount more of colour. I get that the feeling is supposed to be one of decay, but that doesn't mean all muted tones. I get what you mean though. In fact, I detest over-saturated and extreme high contrast photos. It shows either a lack in skill or confidence in the individual's work.

Excellent use of perspective and the tone to this image carries a lot of weight. Very nice work.

Ich hätte mir an den dunkelsten Stellen einen Übergang in "echtes" schwarz gewünscht (glaube ich - müsste ich natürlich erst mal sehen ), sonst echt Bombe!
