Short series of the mechanical area of an old health care facility still in use.









All with X100, no flash, 1/15 or 1/30, f/4

Neat!

Most of these feel like just cluttered snapshots in industrial hallways, I have to say.
The B&W pipe ones stand out as being massively better IMO than the others. Interesting lines, repetition of elements, no weird clutter of plastic buckets and stuff, and the lighting models the shapes nicely, giving 3d feel. There's very little I would even change about that one, other than maybe cropping the white blur in the upper left.

Nice work. The pump station is an awesome image.

I agree with the others on the pump station, it's my favorite of the group. I think Gav is right and the white in the upper left of the frame should go.

Definitely the b&w stood out from the rest. I'm not usually a b&w fan but I think these picks may benefit from it. The color detracts from the idea of something that is grungy. The b&w also helps to bring out more texture and contrast.

The b&w one. I somehow feel it could do with some more contrast (grain also?)

I think there's lots of potential in that place but you haven't quite grabbed it. Think more geometrically. Ditch the hallway shots. You need more of a subject in all of those
