Thanks for the comments Olaf, Kelly.

@ Olaf, in another shot, from slightly different angle, the hole in the roof is shown through one of the foreground holes in the glass. But, in the end I liked this angle more, as the uwa lens really accentuates the foreground holes.

@ Kelly, Still learning how to use this lens effectively. Definitely love it! I took many shots with it at this location, mostly straight on and more orthogonal, with the setting sun adding lots of texture to the brick wall. Last shot of the bunch, after the sun had disappeared behind some trees, I tried this angle, which I think works better by accentuating the foreground elements, while maintaining depth in the image.

Well seen and well captured Peter.

I guess I ain't no prophet. The writing is on the wall, but hard to decipher.

Got to love that lens. - Kelly

Yesterday I was thinking that it was strange no-one had shot broken glass yet and when I check in this morning, there are two photos in the gallery, both of them with broken glass... Thought transference?

I like how the edgy holes in the foreground window glass is echoed by the irregular shaped hole in the roof. You did well balancing the exposure, keeping the interior dark but still with detail.
