 The company I work for owns this site. It's the Historic Pearl Brewery. We are in the process of turning it into a wonderful, mixed-use paradise along the San Antonio Riverwalk. I have the awesome job of photographing the progress as the site turns from old, beat-up buildings to our wonderful idyllic vision. It's definitely the funnest part of my job :)

Wow, i cannot believe someone took the time to go and take all the paint off of this building. What a restoration project. What a cool job you have too!

The thumbnail pops off the page, calling out for a second look.
The point of view and the dark, almost sinister appearance work well together.

What a great building... I'd love the chance to get to wander around there and take pictures! I like your final product... you didn't over-do the editing.

I love this and pleased that it did so well but deserved a higher score and position.....

What a spooooooky looking sky, Sandy! It's a very cool building too, but the sky makes it. The title is perfect. I'm surprised this didn't score a little higher. I enjoyed reading your description - it does sound like a great assignement!!

This is an interesting - somewhat threatening building. Good photo.

I love the dark mysterious mood of this phantom's castle that is created by the sky. Looks like stormy weather ahead even tho this image is crystal clear. You got me hooked, I want to see this movie! Great Job!

Definitely an eerie, forboding image - title works well. One of my top picks!

Good shot, not too sure how this would work as a cinema poster though

this just doesn't look scary enough. All those extra elements on the right detract from the effect (though they make for a good picture, but not a good movie).
 05/08/2006 09:35:03 AM
I can certainly see this as a movie title. Many in this challenge, I cannot. Great perspective. The old building just screams movie to me. Good job!

"WOW", this has a dark "eerie" feel to it, but I love that, as is adds to the mystery of the image..... A great photo, and hope it is on the front page.....

perhaps not a real castle, though who am I to say anything...i don't know any phantoms! Great effect on the sky!

very sharp, like the tones.8

Certainly gives a look of darkness and mystery, love the tall chimney, and the gothic effect....

I think this should be the cover to Stephen King's next novel. The walkway that goes nowhere is very interesting! Excellent composition & focus. I guess is you will finish in the top ten with this photograph. Good luck! 10
