A sad state of affairs

Built as a grain store in 1875-76 but long since abandoned. A company buys old car wrecks for various reasons and occupies a ground floor office. I have inverted the photograph but not the building or the broken cars!

Really neat negative effect!

An interesting image, I like the treatment you have used and would love to visit this sometime in the future, with my camera in hand. A fav

[Taffy]

The treatment makes it looks more surreal than decrepit. Fascinating to see how processing can change the mood so dramatically.

[Dawn]

Nicely done

[haskar]

Well done.

@taffy Thats just what I thought, Taffy - the original is a bit sad!

[Maggiemae]

@nzkites You would find each side of this building has photographic appeal! Made of Oamaru Stone, of course!

[Casablanca]

The sight of all that broken stuff made you feel negative? LOL Quite fun in this conversion. As Taffy said, it keeps it away from showing how decrepit it is.

[FBailey]

That really was a clever idea, certainly transformed it

[Maggiemae]

@casablanca Good statement, Ms C! It was depressing seeing as is!

[Brennie B]

like this lots!

[Beryl Lloyd]

The edit gives this such a ghostly and surreal look and the focus on the building avoids you dwelling on the debris in the foreground !

[Maggiemae]

@beryl Which is amazing, Beryl! The original is just awful - wrecks and rust!

[Lou Ann]

Your editing makes this scene so surreal. The white tree is ghostly!

[Babs]

Really interesting processing. I love the silvery tree.

[katy]

Inverting it takes it from being a mundane shot to something interesting. I like the colors that came out of the inversion

[Bep]

Your editing makes this picture look surreal.

[gloria jones]

Your editing really adds interest to this shot...well done.

[Pat Knowles]

I hate seeing old dilapidated cars hanging about! Of course to a man there is never a car wreck just a spare part! Interesting effect, I think you have just camaflouged the sight! 🤗

[Delwyn Barnett]

Intriguing processing. It does make the image quite surreal and draws attention.
