I love the detail here and the texture in the sky. Very Gotham Gothic.

This is very cool and thanks for posting your processing steps I learn heaps when others share :) Am wondering if a bit of a crop of the foreground would tidy it up a bit

Great shot to use with an overlay. I love how adding texture can save an image with a bland sky and turn it into a real focal point. Good choice with the sepia on this. Really suits it.

Excellent. Glad to see you in this group. It'll be fun to see some of your awesome stuff with some extra grunge. The duotone and "cracked" sky is just really perfect to create the feel of something aged.

Great title! Everything about this image says "distressed". The texture and toning just drive the point home and give what might otherwise be a busy image of a run-down building it's raison d'etre.

I love the tones in this, and the effect of the overlay, which make it look like an old photo.
