    Cool shot. I'm wondering if I like your shadow being there and/or if your should be in it. Probably not an important element though. Nice texture on the walls and I like the darkness of the foreground contrasting the light in the bg.
    I would love to see another shot of the part of the wall with the exposed bricks on the center left just because that "pattern" is really nice from what I can see.

    Nifty shot, I would love to hear your settings and glass you used. Also any editing you did with what software?

    I love the textures on the building.

    Its cool the way you haven't placed the vanishing point dead center as is often the case with this type of shot. Only having your shadow adds to the mood of desolation and decay. This works well for me Liban.
    Btw is this a toned B&W or are those the real colours ?

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    Thanks Arne, I'll look and see if I have more shots of this

    Toedwy, I used a sigma 10-20mm here. as far as editing see my next reply. and thanks!

    Pete, I did a channel mixer black and white conversion first. then put on top of that the original colour, changed that layer to 'color' then toned it down like 50%.

    it's hard to explain. it's got a toned down colour than the original so about 50% saturation only. but the good black and white conversion underneath it gives it the pop it needs.

    it's almost like having the original shot toned down 50% in the saturation levels but yet with the best contrast channel mixer black and white conversion can give thank you for commenting and i hope that made sense!
