Posted: Mon Jul 17, 2006 6:17 pmOn their own they seem to lack pulling power, but if you move in on a subject like this, you would most likely come up with many great mood/texture images. Did you?

if they were part of a series which culminated with shots showing the decay inside, then maybe.

Posted: Mon Jul 17, 2006 11:55 pmThanks for the critiques. They don't really work for me either, I might re-shoot this one.

I think the sky and trees might be what's reducing the strength of these, I think Col was on the money by getting in closer and excluding all the extraneous stuff... Might not have to re-shoot, try some crops... Maybe a grainy B&W with some vignette???

I think the second shot best because of the overall direction of the composition. The first shot has the chimney going vertical where as the rest of the shot runs parallel with the roof.
