The perspective gives a great sense of uniformity, like there's no individuals to be found in the image, which is enhanced by the flattened colour scheme.
The dereliction is really effective in bringing out the emotions and sadness of the photo, emphasising the inevitable lack of warmth and unfortunately love in orphanages. The dreams in your title are evident in the setting - beds - but have been broken by time and tainted with sadness even if they were originally happy, bringing a morbid feeling to the image.
Technically, the exposure is also lovely, great even tones and sharpness.
Generally a very intense, moody but also thoughtful shot. Fantastic!

Hello, *illpadrino.

The title really suits it. This orphanage housed children that never had parents that should had cared and loved them. Beds look dirty and unclean, with trash and dust all over the place makes it a good sense about dreams of sadness. The feeling that this orphanage is abandoned really makes a sense of sad emotions like pain, grief, and mourning. Even the nightstands look very dirty, untidy, and are full of dust. Your title has a good element in this image: "Sadness of Dreams" means that you have a sad dream of being in an orphanage without caring and loving parents. Keep up the good work.

this almost looks like a painting with the uniformity of the colours. I love the splash of orange above the windows.
