It's a Victorian gas storage structure, that's empty at the moment.

Where in Reading?
It makes a good feature against the sky. Good shot.

Fantastic picture. Gasometers are not meant to be beautiful.

wow, gorgeous colors and composition!

Nice job with colors, actually. The crop seems to leave vital info on the bottom, so the subjects sort of float in from nowhere. There could be more happening below I'm saying.

It's a good photo. The composition is interesting, but perhaps if you could crop it without seeing all the stuff on the ground?
The colors are nice too, but not quite amazing... have you tried a b&w version, or sepia?
Sorry, I just don't find it interesting enough for the safe.

I love the composition, but the colors remind me of stuff that I tried (and failed) to save from underexposure.

Nice work, great color palette, perfect just before dawn feel.

its just a nice colour composition al together. If I look at it more then one second, its starting to become uninteresting, but still.

I agree that these structures are fascinating in real life, but I think they are a prime example of something that looks so self-evidently cool, yet it is so hard to communicate that within a single photographic frame. I think given the subject matter, this could be done better, with less sterility, and a better sense of how you feel when you see them in real life.

Good composition and good colours, quite atmospheric

Really nice shot, love the colors and the subject as well. But after some pondering i think there is too much of the roof in the pic and the left corner is a bit too dark.

Nice colours, but I totally don't like that roof in the foreground.

I didn't realize we were allowed to bump photos in the pool. ;)

why not? Anything to get it deleted faster ;-)

I like the cold, almost frosty feel of the roof. This really works for me.

i dig the sky, but i don't dig the content in any other respect than the shapes of the tank holding frame. in this sense, i think, it should've been silhouette.

Really cool, I like the straight lines of the roof vs the curve of the structure

Interesting compo.
I like how the lines of the roof top make you look at the center of the picture.
