Be brutal! What do you think? How can I improve? These are practice real estate photos. I need to perfect my shots.

As far as commercial real estate pictures go I think they are effective. Perhaps
a shot taken from the front.

I would shoot all four sides and interior shots if possible. If there are special features, then zoom in on those. That is what I do for the engineering photos that I take. Take a lot more pictures than you think you will need. You can always erase them later.

Frankly, I'm not sure how many prints you're gonna sell but as photos that show the building to potential buyers....they look fine to me.

Also, perhaps choose a time of day when there are no shadows on doors and windows. Definitely interior shots should be taken, especially any architectural components such as fireplace mantels, corbels, etc.

Shoot to maximize features and diminish negatives. That floodlight on the first image and the electrical meters on the second. Frame your shot to cut them out. Also, you are shooting to assist selling property, not make a nice landscape.

I am not a Real Estate photographer. So, There will be criticisms.
Your's look acceptable to me.
What occurs to me is that the images should not misrepresent the product.
Don't fake it; and you have not.
That should be good?

I would not. It is a security feature, which is an asset to the property- besides your showing another one, further into the photos.

Get rid of harsh shadows, as suggested.

The two shots you showed us is fine. I do think it's missing a front view.

For that particular building you should have shot from further out to show the pitch of the roof. The first shot looks like a flat roof and the most prominent feature is the rotted fascia. Think more in terms of the building and the potential buyer first and then work your photography to that. For that building - who is the buyer? A single home buyer or somebody buying rental property for an investment portfolio? Frame the shots to minimize the negatives and maximize the curb appeal. Crop prudently, but don't alter or clone out negative features or it could be considered misrepresentation. Try to include a couple of 'pretty' shots that will catch attention rather than all 'get it all in' shots.
Just my thoughts.
