I really liked this during voting, and I still do. I love the tone mapping in B&W.....it's a wonderul technique.

I'm not quite understanding the score or the overprocessing comments - I just don't see it as overprocessed. I like the crisp clean lines of the building's structure, I think it's a solid composition (the photograph - not so sure about the structure) and I like it in B&W.

Great subject, but the processing is distracting, and the image is blotchy in places.

Must have been a pretty place in it's glory days. I think that it's a little too unconstrated for a lot of DPCers tastes through my own experiences but, it's got a lot of charm to it. Makes one wonder what laid behind those walls at one point, doesn't it?

Looks like a charcoal drawing. Cool processing!

i don't feel your post processing is working very well here, it's overprocessed in my opinion and the trees have halos but this is a very very cool find

I feel liek a lot of detail from this pic might have been lost in post. I'd love to see the original. Not sure I like the b&w for this.

Effective processing.....gives it a real grunge/abandoned look. 7

Whoa... this is a textbook example of overusing HDR.
