Decay and Decadence
Photo Information
Shot at the deserted and semi derelict Parkhill Flats in Sheffield, the contrast between the decaying architecture and a bottle of vintage Dom Perignon (empty) struck me.

Superb image, well seen,
Although IMO a stronger image could be made with a step to the right for more separation with the wall on the right and would put the bottle more against the yellow and I would have removed the apple carton or clone it out.

Good visual appeal, apart from the carton - I'd crop it out and square the frame. The bottle would be dead centre but I think it would work.

Thanks for the comments all, regarding the carton it wasn't placed there by me, nor was the champagne bottle, I shot them where they stood and because of this my view was they are in integral part of that scene, whether or not it made the most sense for a composition. It was quite difficult to get in the right position for this shot; none of the other angles worked properly.

A very good graphic design, but I'm with Adrian re the apple juice carton. Might have been a good idea to take it as it appears for a documentary shot and then remove the carton to go for more of an arty image. Best of both worlds.
