I really like how the chair balances out the soap dispenser. I think in this instance the slight off focus look adds depth and character to the photo...very nice. Great job!

Coin laundrys (Ive become japanese when I refer to these places), are great. Theyre almost tragically beautiful. Im not even sure where the 'tragic' comes from, but I always get a sad sensation when I'm in them. It's weird. MAybe because once theyre built they're rarely maintained, so they become as the above image shows. But I do like them. Makes me wish my machine would break down so I have more excuses to go down to my local again.

I like the coin machine with all the writings and posters, reminds me to a punk band album of something like that!

Very well done, the processing adds to the photo a lot. Nice composition, the chair balances things out as mentioned earlier and the posters and stickers are all really interesting. Like it, good job.

A well balanced image and an interesting composition, the black and white processing adds to the atmosphere of this shot. I must agree with Duncan, I to get a strange sad feeling from these places.

A very sad and lonely yet compelling image. Great comp and b&w.

Nice shot mate. Your processing skills are getting better with every image.
I might have to follow Duncan and your lead and venture into one of these oneday to capture some shots.
