Light is very interesting... Like a model or something. It comes so near of the ground and is so powerful. fine nyans and an excellent picture.

Hi Vincent

An eye catching shot here, I cant explain exactly why though, i think its the lines and the light that do it. It reminds me of an old movie scene.

TFS regards Helen

Hello Vincent,
Interesting flashback, an image telling a story about times long gone...
Black and white works well here, so does the contrasty hard sharpness...
Well framed, good details!
Greetings,

Hi Vincent

It looks like a town that has seen better, & more prosperous, days, judging from the peeling paint. There are many small towns like this, in rural Australia, too. Perfect sharpness & tonal range, with good lighting. Tfs!

I prefer the color version to this one I believe. I like the warm, muted tones of it. It felt more nostalgic in color, ironically. Thanks for posting them both!

The composition and the subject are well-selected, sepia tones, too.
As remind me an industrial architecture that I saw in old american movies (those I liked very much :) )

Overwhelming mood, Vincent!
Looking at this photo gives you the feeling of being there.
Excellent black & white conversion: B&W makes the derelict aspect of the buildings really pop out (by simplifying things). At the same time, you "saved" the luminosity of the colour version.
Excellent job!

Hi dear friend,
great finding! Looks so old and with a great untold story.
I find your PP work as an excellent one.
Indeed, the original tones seemed a little too yellowish.
The sepia tones are looking great for this old view.
The frame looks perfect on it.
A styled presentation. TFS
Best wishes,
Ioana

This is simply fabulous, Vincent -- I love the colours, textures and mood -- a gritty portrait of a once-proud factory

I like both versions Vincent, but I think I like the sepia just a little more. It matches the conditions of the building and makes the abandonment more pronounced. Super capture with great details and notes. Well done.

Hi Vincent
That is a very nice photo that for me is a kind of archive item.I love to make pictures of things before they are forgotten. Nice shot of another time, Good idea to switch to B&W.
