Vacancy

I didn't really know what to call it, so I just called it vacancy cause it's kind of conveys an isolated and alone feeling... I just went out for a walk tonight with my camera and took quite a few pictures.. this one's my favorite I think..
I took this in a shipping alleyway for big trucks to make their deliveries.

I only photoshopped to get rid of some icky parts, but other than that and the text, it's pretty much stock.
What do ya thinks?

It's too small to actually see what detail it may have.

It's a good photograph, but it's too small to be a great sig. You should try to avoid using pure black when altering the lighting.

Thats actually how it was when I took it, I mean, I did put an overlay layer on there and set its opacity so it wouldn't completely darken the image, but it's close to stock already :)

Good photo, unlucky it's a little blurry. Good composition though.
BUT same crappy text only in a different place. Try make the text be align with the wall and a fair bit smaller.

I'm sure it'd work better as a larger image and manip'd

I like the whole isolation look/feel to it. Was the glare that large?

Long exposure? Looks more like a PS edit though.

The huge fake looking glare/light kills it.

It was a pretty big bright light, but I had to turn the exposure up on my camera to get some night time details, so more light got in. I'll try to dim it down in PS.
