^^ That's #2 for me; #1 is the poem one. Something often overlooked as vandalism can be seen as art.

The first is spectacular - love the textures and tonal range.

I like these but they all looked soft. I noticed they were all shot at 1/4 shutter speed, f/20, 100iso, and a flash. Were you using a tripod?

Any reason why you didn't open it up to more like f/11 and shoot at 200-400iso instead? Especially on #3 where you focused so shallow anyways.

This was kind of a spur of the moment thing yesterday because I happened to be in the area. I did not use a tripod but had one in my car, I should have. I didnt spend much time there so I really didnt adjust the settings that much, it was more of a get out and get a couple shots then leave.

You might go back with a tripod, or lower the iso and/or fstop to get it back up to at least 1/60 if handheld; that's a pretty cool subject to get some cool shots with.
