And I thought I already picked the brown ribbon winner. :(
Too, small, too dark, too blurry and can't even telkl what it is. Sorry. If the was a serious effort, seek help in the forums. If not - thanks for wasting people's time.

Good choice of subject. Lots of different material types, all of which you photographed very well.

Fine composition with leading lines, and interest in this old place. The sky is a bit washed out. I like the closer in crop.

Interesting perspective here. True, the building is cut off, but in this case I can see that it makes for a strong composition. The roof offers a nice diagonal base splitting the picture and creating a pretty good balance of lines and texture in the wood of the structure and the more solid roof and sky. There is some nice texture going on by the way in your subject. I like the ominous feel of the blackness within the opeining, the viewer is left wondering what might be inside, another time of day with different lighting angles may have spoiled this, nice choice. In that respect lighting is good, however over all, IMO the llighting seems kind of flat in the shot. I'm wondering if maybe a little different adj. in levels or brightness may ad some pop? perhaps not. I know that often times it seems people do b/w just for the sake of it, but I'm thinking maybe in this shot it could be strong, really emphasizing the rich tone and texture of the wood and the roof, and bringing less into play the slightly drab lighting conditions. Perhaps even playing with hue/sat, in separate channels, kind of selectively desating, utilizing the strengths of the wood tones and primarily neutral colors? Overall, good job, nice photo. :-)

Like this picture - the textures are great. The sky takes away from the pic a bit though (too washed out). Perhaps cropping lower would help.
