This is very nice, and has a good story to go with it. It makes me think about how it must have been to have lived at the time this was built, and to have done this kind of work.
The image itself is well processed, with the grainy looking foreground, and selective desat to get the color to pop thru the window the way it does. The textures an lines where the stones fit to each other is a visual treat.

I didn't see the other shot so I was able to look at this one on its own and it is a very nice shot. I like the use and choice of color and find that little bit is nicely off set by the greys. Lovely textures and shadow.

its a damn shame. looks like you had some backlash for doing a similar shot from the last challenge. I think it is a great shot

This has a nice feel to it. Works well for the desat theme. The photo is well composed and is interesting to look at. If I had one complaint it would be that once you get past the front wall the focus isn't strong enough. A deeper aperture perhaps? Just a thought. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

BTW - Commenting only, not voting. :)

Isn't this an almost exact replica of the yellow ribbon winner from the last selective desaturation challenge?

I think it could have done with some more colour in the window, maybe a step to the left or right or an assistaint "filling" the window with colour.

Very cool! Reminds me of another photo in the first selective desaturation challenge... :) Great textures and colors.
