Default Derelict house

Photographers Comments
I found this derelict house the other day and thought it presented a challenging and interesting subject. Unfortunately the weather was a bit on the dull side. Let me know your thoughts on my B&W conversion.

Hi Maureen, this old building will make really good subject matter. As you said the sky was dull, but if you are able to get back to this site, then the same shot taken with a cloudy sky in monochrome will be really dramatic. With all of the old rubbish around you have plenty of foreground matter, then the building itself and hopefully a more interesting sky. Good find .

I really like this image but I agree with Barry that a cloudy sky would give it a dramatic edge.

Thank you Barry and Anne for taking a look. I agree totally a cloudy sky would make the image much more interesting. I intend to go back very soon and retake some shots when the sky affords me opportunity
