About the Image(s)
Out in eastern Colorado, where the wind can be treacherous, I find these remarkable agri-buildings collapsing but not being replaced. Fewer farms…even fewer farmers. Only a small percentage of the heirs want to continue working the land. I try to capture these images before they are razed or burn down! Canon 90D with Canon 17-85 lens at 17 mm. Hand held. NIK Silver Efex for B/W conversion.

I really like your tonal range and processing on this. Looking at the clouds in the top right, it looks like it was a longer exposure, however given it was hand held, guessing not? What did you shoot this at?
I keep looking at the foreground and wonder if it's all needed and if you could have given a bit more breathing room above the top of the building? Posted: 01/18/2025 19:19:22

I agree with Dawn on the front and the breathing room. It looks like someone tried to save it with the 2 guide wires. Posted: 01/21/2025 16:51:38
