This is one of my fav. subjects, and have stopped there 3 or 4 times since finding it origionally. It's interesting to watch it deteriorate in the images that I have of it, and yours (haven't been there in 6 - 8 months or so)

This is a great image of it, and knowing exactly where you were standing makes me wonder if I should have stood there last time I was there. I think your over sharpened comments may be from a larger than normal amount of contrast, which makes it look over sharpened a bit. Your ISO being higher than what I normally shoot, makes it difficult for me to be sure. Great image, and hopefully you and i stay off the same subjects for future challenges, as I almost went back out there and reshot for this particular challenge.

** Greetings from the Critique Club **

Composition: strong and well executed
Technically: Appears over sharpened as if it were done to attmept correction of the poor focus. Good use of B&W

Excellent! When b&w is done properly it really shows great contrast. My first place choice.
Very well done.

Nice angle to the shot. It draws your eye up. Seems slightyly out of focus but maybe that was your intent. Nice contrast and use of sepia.

a bit over-sharpened for my taste. I do like the idea and composition
