comment from my 1-4-0 thread...

I remember voting on this (an 8). I would have voted higher but for the blown out sky, revisting it however I think the sky adds to the overall image of bleakness. I quite like the lean but thing rotation a degree or so to the right might have more impact? (I guess its not still there for a retake?)

truly monumental in scope.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/14/2006 01:56:37 AM
I can't decide about this. The B&W treatment is really cool as is the lighting affect of the sky looking like a halo .. perhaps it's that it is very centred that subtracts frm the wow-factor. Will come back and review
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/13/2006 09:46:13 PM
What a nice picture. Done with the wide angle I suppose, the B&w was well chosen. The sky strenghtens the picture as well. 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/13/2006 07:24:32 PM
I like the b&w and composition, though it does appear a bit over sharpened.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/13/2006 03:03:44 PM
Cropping is everything with this one... well done

Wow, Lovely picture. I like the angle you've used. The clouds and B&W really add to the deteriorated building. Well done!

Ya, this has a chance. I love it. Great B&W conversion. 9 for now, may bump at the end. Bumping to 10. This is my pick for a ribbon. My only question? Will it be above or below mine... ;)

  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2006 03:43:16 PM
Sharpening has textured this image well, and with the B&W effect, the angry sky,and well composed,a very good image...8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2006 02:44:18 PM
awesome
  Photographer found comment helpful.

02/08/2006 01:53:41 PM
very dramatic shot - wonder if it would look better with the verticals straightened? like it anyhow
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2006 01:07:38 PM
Excellent, very strong impact.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2006 12:19:27 PM
Wow... this is a very cool image. Love the use of B&W, the contrast between the building and the sky.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2006 11:55:23 AM
Way oversharpened. There are jaggies on all the window lines as well as compression artifacts around the edges of the building. It's a shame, b/c I really like this shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2006 08:53:56 AM
Kind of creepy with the perspective and forboding sky. I love it. The contrast is good as well. 9

  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2006 06:56:34 AM
Great black and white, wish it was a little more centered, but then then the clouds would have been different and I really like them.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Fantastic. Desat a great idea.
