Challenge: Abandoned II (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Nikon D90
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX 18-105 f/3.5-5.6 ED VR
Location: Corfu, Greece
Date: Jun 11, 2012
Date Uploaded: Jun 17, 2012

 3 exposure HDR and then Nik SilverFX
I checked to see what the challenge was on the morning that I travelled home from my trip to Corfu. There seems to be no shortage of abandoned stuff out there but my hire-car had gone back and I only had an hour to spare so I needed to find something local. It was rather sad to see this place had obviously gone out of business not that long ago. It's retro styling makes it seem older than it probably is.

I was torn by the framing, too - yes, no, yes . . . Great tones and a terrific old building with those very nice pavers leading up to it. Gave it a 7. Congratulations on the top ten finish.

Great shot of a very interesting building.

I worked in Corfu for 8 months when I was younger and this building looks very familiar - where abouts was it located?

Congrats on Top Ten

Lovely building I'm sure in it's heyday, and the paving as well, excellent job on the PP. See you on the front page. 10

I'm hoping this ribbons, all the best.

vignetting is oppressive

not a big fan of the framing on this, though i'm probably in the minority. i'd like to have seen this slightly closer with a wider angle lens.
the foreground looks too clean and polished to fit in with the boarded up building.

Great pp I love the sharpness achieved here. Lovely building, so sad to see neglect taking its toll.
