I'm not a big fan of titles, although I understand why you chose as you did. It's a good shot, and speak well to the impact of primitive man on the environment. Would that it were true of industrialized man.
Thanks for sharing.

Like this, straight away I thought how very "Tomb Raider" ish this image is (from one of the movies).

It's just another example of the power of nature, well seen and taken.

Interesting picture. Would have like a better contrast maybe, never the less, still as good picture!

Very well composed and captures the essence of your title, certainly leaving me feel uneasy. This is a great example of when to use HDR to composite the scene and bring in the upper right corner as well as some of the deep shadows inside the building. It doesn't have to be gaudy, just compressing the contrast range.
