Great photo.

I can't believe such wonderful architectural works are abandoned. What a waste!

The fence and barbed wire really helps make this image stronger. Though I'd love to see the colors in this, the B&W conversion helps with teh stark and bleak moodiness that this image conveys so very well.....8

It's a shame places like this look they way they do. This seems like it was a spectacular place once. B & W really works well here.

Getting above the fence or shooting through it would have been better IMO. But it is very sharp and shows great detail. No vote, I'm in this one.
