Description
hmmm....I don't know about this one, don't know if I like or not.This was by the side of the road in South Florida. Just this little concrete building abandoned on this enormous desert patch under the burning Florida Sunshine.

Dear Absynthium,
I am writing to request your permission to include this piece of yours in a slide show to accompany our concert. We are a brand new experimental music formation called Umenden ([link] ). Our music reflects the shadowy, the distant, the hidden, and the mysterious region of the mind and we would like our show to be accompanied by images associated with the ideas of desolation, depression, dementia and mental illness in general. The image you have created resonates with these themes and would greatly enrich the visual aspect of our show. We would appreciate it very much if you were so kind as to permit us to use it. Our use of your work would be purely non-commercial – our show is free, as are all the shows we are planning so far, and we plan to make our music available online for free as well. Needless to say, we will give you full credit in our slide show and on our MySpace page, providing a link to your gallery.
Thank you very much,
Max “Nekto Kovrov” Abelev of UMENDEN.

well apparently you have never been to south florida in the summer at high noon...yes the sky is bright there. As for metering to the sky, I am still trying to learn photography and I went with the exposure my camera recommended for the super bright daylight conditions.

the sky is too bright, looks rather flat pay more attention to the exposure you have on the sky/clouds next time, maybe even meter on the sky

I love the shot, and of course the b&w really works. The only thing I would say (just personal opinion of course) is that maybe the pic would look a little more balanced if the building had been further right. I think thats an aesthetic thing and aesthetics depend a lot on the individual, so maybe just ignore me

yeah that bothered me too, I didn't want to crop it though because I was trying to get the feeling of how big and empty the patch of nothing that the building is on was.
