Keep Out!

I was out one day in January with Ozzy and saw this scene. It was windy and cold, cold, cold.

Interesting Mark, what does color add to this image? Have you considered B&W for this one? It might make more of a statement in B&W... Just my opinion of course...

Cheers!

I love the texture and I think the faded colors add to the sense of deterioration. The composition isn't quite working for me. I wonder what a tighter crop focusing on the cracks and some geometric elements would do?

Thanks, I have some shots like you suggest, Sean. Maybe I'll repost when I get home.

That's some gnarly looking old paint. Whats up with the bottle shaped dark area in the top right?

so much potential. I would crop from the blue line down and roofline up

I think I personally favor the more inclusive crop, as it gives a sense of the deterioration of the building, adding character. I might clone out that sticker on the window so it dosen't compete with the sign.
