I like the black and white for these kinds of shots. I would pull back and either more right or more left for angle. The traffic lights and street sign add nothing or are out of context.
The building corner being chopped as well as the light on the barrell don't help the composition. The decaying/abandoned building seems to be your main subject but the light is lacking on front to make it stand out. Sometimes you just have to wait for the light to be right.
The second one, I can't figure out what is going on with focus as the post and building are fairly sharp but nothing around them is..such as the little tree by the post.
I like what you are seeing and the black and white works.
i like both shots but i dont know whats going on with that edges or boarder? id suggest maybe adding a boarder that goes all the way around or cropping out whatever the black is on both sides and the bottom, its nothing big but i think it could help alittle
Thanks for the words. The black boarder is from printing the pictures and scanning them. I have a cheap scanner so some of the grays and soft edges can be to blame for that.
