Thank you. I was intending this to be a B&W shot, but didn't like what was coming out at the conversion stage. The yellow was hard to separate from the grey :(. I'd like to hear any suggestions for successful B&W conversion of this image.

I see what you are saying. This was not really intended, but if that works for you, that's great. This is probably not because of the shadows, but because of the diagnonal line, which may have been an edge, and the smaller lines reaching that edge at different angles.

Actually, there is more dimension than you give yourself credit Arcady.
The longer I sit and look at this, the more I begin to think or see the one side with the left arrow, being on a higher plane than the lower section with the right arrow. Not until the far left side of the image do they seem to have the same lighting and share the same plane.
Great use of shades to add an etxra touch of dimension.

I get this "flat" complaint all the time. This image was *meant* to be 2-dimentional. What's wrong with that? See discussion under this picture for more thoughts on flatness:

Great example of composition and use of non-symmetrical lines to acheive balance.
The weathered paint and overall tones are certainly a plus here.
Great title by the way!
