Fantastic bloody sky! We're definitely out of the 80's into the video games of the 21st century!

The barbed wire gives this shot a cold harsh appearance, how hostile can a city be..? But it is a shot with impact.

I really like your new "trend". Live is always changing and we have to adapt, right? ;)
Intesting perspective and processing mate!

Love your perspective and symmetry of windows here. The black sky and brown clouds add unusual, but welcomed, character.

intriguing composition and toning! the dramatic sky and b&w finish of the building gives this scene a very dark and brooding mood - almost a dark reflection upon the city in some way...

Now that's a very cool shot. Has the feel of a scene from 'Sin City'. Marvellous work

I really like the processing. It gives is a strangeness to match the content of the shot.

Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States
Haha, I really like these three different version/processes of the same building. Now this is something out of Sin City or Max Payne!

Wow! I absolutely LOVE your treatment and composition! This shot is sublime!
5 stars my friend!

Aside from the great composition and effects, it evokes great symbolism - the city's dark side and prison-like character that sometimes it projects. I like your photographs VERY much.

You do get around. I don't expect you to have much sympathy since you seem to do a pretty good job of keeping up with comments, but I'm not commenting on all of your fine shots because I'm trying to catch up and resume posting images myself. I do consider responding to those who have made the effort to comment about my images my first priority, so, until I catch up on this part of the process, I won't be posting anything.
