A breathtaking view! Very well composed, and I may have to go visit that castle - looks amazing. I really like the gradation of the tones, too.

Very good range of tones in the background, and an interesting story in the foreground. I also like the effect of the long lens projecting the foreground into the vast expanse in the back.

I love this shot - the tone is wonderful and the use of negative space really makes this shot tell a story. The lone musician in the spotlight...excellent.

edit to add, after reading some of the other comments, I have to say I really like the tilt in this shot as well would like to see the dot of light gone :)

I also like the contrast of the unmoving building decaying away against the train wooshing by... The paint peeling off the walls adds much to the general feel.

This has got to be an amazing place to see in person. And the light shining thru the windows must create a sense of nostalgia too. I'm more fascinated by the stuff on the right rather than what is down the hallway on the left. I love how the light enhances the details on the railing. Makes you wonder where it all leads to.

very nice. i'd love to know where this is. The only thing i don't like about the picture is the houses on the far hill, but i won't fault you, i'm sure you didn't build them. ;)

Another great old building shot, you really have these pegged! I love the tone in this and the capture of movement in a stagnate enviroment adds a nice touch, well done, again:)

Wow that's very impressive. That patch of grass looks greenish to me, is this a duotone or a b&w? 9
