    I like seeing the whole building in the first shot but wish it had been shot at more of an angle from the left, eliminating the open area on that side.
    Interesting old building. Only thing I can think that Gro. could stand for is grocery but it doesn't look like a grocery store, even an old one.
    Any idea what it was?
    Keep Shooting!

    Nope. I assumed it meant grocery as well, more probably "Dry Goods" kind of a store, a country style predecessor to 7-11 perhaps. Here is an alternate comp. just for you Frog.

    I am with Frog. I like the first one the best and my only suggestion would be to clone the road and trail on the left and give it an isolated look.
    You can also use the tranform edit tool and take the keystone effect out of the last shot too. Nice work Cindy.

    Cindy,

    I find the shot to be very cramped, and would like to see more space around the building to put it into the context in the landscape. The road and empty space on the left needs to be balanced with something on the right for me. Other than that the head on shot is ok. Might be a good one for B&W. I disagree about cloning out the road if you have more context and balance it with the right.

    As for the other 2 I wanted to see more texture in the metal sheets and wood but its not getting through to me in these shots. They all seem a little flat to me. Perhaps more saturation and contrast could bring some more texture into these. Not sure if the light was helping you though.

    The colors aren't strong enough or warm enough for my taste so I too am thinking B&W.
    No, I DON'T need that.
