I must say that this is one of the best art forums I have joined. Second thatnks for the inspiration that is on this site, it has inspired me to get back into photography after almost 4 yrs. This picture I took at an old industrial park near where I live. I converted it to b&w and added some tone and a little grunge (love that stuff). The pic was taken on an older model Pentax SLR.

Can't say I care for the grunge...good way to ruin an excelent photo.

Great imagery, love the tone and the mood of the photo. My suggestion would be to reshoot at a different time of day, the sunlight entering from the left washes the image out on that side. I would shoot it when the sun is at the right of the image, resulting in diffused "north light" coming from the left. Also center the shot.
