Do Not Enter!

This is for black and white February - Day 5.

Considering the subject matter I find black and white to be very suitable and fitting for this ominous looking image. The barbed wire says a lot and along with the sky balances out the old head frame down below.
Processed in LR.

OMG.........this photo made it to the PP, thank you everyone!!!

Thank you for your comments and favs on my project I really appreciate your support.

This is simply excellent Kathy: I like the PoV, the barbed wire is inspired and the processing is just right for this image. Fav for me.

[Joan Robillard]

Your bw February is excellent. This is another great shot. Sometimes I think bw makes you really see the subject and not the pleasing collection of colors.

[Julie Duncan]

This is really great! Is it an old mine?

B&W would almost seem to be the only choice for this one! I came here looking for some snow, and was almost not surprised to find it! You did a wonderful job with this!
