May 12- Seen Better Days

This stately old building must have been really something when it was being used. It still retains, what I think, is a regal air about it.
Kentucky St. near Union Ave., Bakersfield

Beautifully atmospheric, and a great black and white conversion.

Nice. I have a shot or two from this side, too.

The fence could have been a disturbance, but it works well.Gives a feel of forbidden building. Great treatment.

Great shot here and great treatment. Excellent composition with sky, fence and the building. V

Wow fantastic treatment and mood, perfect for your subject matter. And I like your inclusion of the wire fence, telling us that the building is beyond reach, a sense of abandonment and decay. My very 1st vote for you :)
