I love the old fashioned feel of this photo, not just the subject, or the use of black and white, but also the sight over exposure as though its a photo that had faded with time. Great job. BAMartin

This is more "anti-Corporate World"! I like the b&w. The amount of sunspot glare is just a little bit TOO much for my taste. Compostition is somewhat uninspiring.

I like the B&W to underscore the Old Time idea. Don't like the harsh sun light that washes out the top right and creates those exaggerated and distracting lines over the image. Would have cropped out the side of the building too to give more emphasis on the Heritage Mercantile, both old, pre-corporate ideas. Am sure you made this shot when out on a drive. Too bad you couldn't take it early in the morning or before dusk when the light wouldn't have been so bad.

Nice concept but the sun flare washes out the photo and generally distracts from the photo. At a different time of day or under different lighting conditions this would have been an excellent shot. -ClubJuggle
