Natalie,

There's just not enogh substance here. Although, it has a very sad meaning and shows the daily life of the Chinese system, it is just too blend.

Hiya Natalie, I like this architectural shot, shows how conditions really are & how the workers are uniformly treated, it could be a touch sharper, perhaps run a USM over it, well captured!

Images don't need to be beautiful to say something and this one says a lot. The dull uniformity of the pattern is contrasted by the seemingly random disposition of the aircon units and by the open/closed windows. I like the photo the way it is, particularly the cropping. Well done, natalie.
