In Disrepair

This is a small shed is located on property adjacent to the high school in Blacksburg. A portion of the Town Of Blacksburg's expansion has been at the expense of rural property and farmland so this type of structure is fairly common. Beautiful rolling farm land and mountains surround Blacksburg and along with Virginia Tech, helps make this a wonderful place to live.

Wonderful job of combining a very sharp and well exposed modern image with a vintage look processing treatment. It really works. ~BV~

These old structures are evocative of days past, and beautiful in their own right. Particularly lovely in mono. V

this speaks of history, and the characterful shed seems to have a symbiotic relationship with local foliage ...tough lighting, but you mastered the challenge...V

It does seem desolate and mysterious. It seems like someone is watching. V

B&W is perfect for the subject. V

The flat tone is so right for this subject. Decay can be beautiful ...for photography. "Big Vote"

Excellent in the needed work department nice border treatment around the photograph and nice shadow use on the frame . Nice soft monochrome that has a tint of sepia feel to it image size great and resolution excellent. Vote +

Fine capture of this abandoned building. The warm monotone gives it the look of something out of the past. V.
