This is definitely the better of the two posted. I think this works better because of the simpler composition and the nice textures in the foreground. Very well done!
this one works very well i think ( not to discount the others! )
the cubic form of the brickwork, and the building+windows echo the
shape of the negative and even the sprocket holes. all those rectangles
work well together against the polymorphic form of the snow and sky.
i know these are work in progress, but you might consider keeping all the
black spaces the same thickness all around the film area. this can be easily done
with an exacto knife and a ruler, and / or a black board + paste
looking forward to the next group ...
