The Gritty Side

Well yesterday was so busy I did not have the chance to take any pictures so I pulled this one out from the summer.
Took this shot downtown showing some of the older and worn out buildings. I decided I would take it in b/w

[Ivan]

It's good in B&W, conveys the grittiness of the area. Fav.

[Jane Anderson]

B&W is a good choice for this!

[Candace]

Excellent shot, especially of Uncle Ed!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Works wonderfully in B&W.

[gloria jones]

Great b&w shot...Uncle Ed's looks a bit shady :)

[KWind]

It suits B&W!

[Anita Campbell]

Old and looking rather vintage. Great for B&W

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Don't like the cash loans sign, terrible places. Lovely urban capture.

[Janet B.]

You composed this shot so well, and black and white suits the scene perfectly!

[Margaret Brown]

Nice feeling of age, I agree b&w suits it

[Delia]

It does look rather worn out

[Tremerryn]

You are right it does show the grittiness - like the name.

[Pyrrhula]

Great B+W processed capture.

[Linda]

I like it in the B&W. The taller build looks like it is breaking off at the top. Cool capture.

[summerfield]

great work, brian.

[bruni]

There is beauty in everything, even an old building like this.

[Lynne Hart]

Really suits black and white, good shot.

[Paula W]

Nice b&w shot Brian.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Black and white is a great choice for this- works perfectly with the industrial subject!

[Taffy]

It sure is gritty -- perfect for B&W

[wendy frost]

Great shot in B/W

[Gena Pegg]

Perfect for B&W

[Richard Hickey]

Cool picture and processing.

[Stephanie Swift]

Love the textures and grittiness in this, fav.

Solid structure despite obvious deterioration.

Very nice urban scene.
