Andrew Murrell

Kim you are outdoing yourself with these abandonded things.. This is wonderful.You have really emphasized the silos solitude by positioning it to the side of the image and having the empty field fill the rest of the frame. The B&W processing is perfect.
Kim Calvert replied

Thanks so much Andrew, what a wonderful comment..I just love these sort of places..they always have so much to say..
Mel Brackstone

billfox256

It is both sad and wonderful at the same time. To see what was once someone’s pride and joy now laying in ruins in sad. The way you captured the scene is wonderful. Bill
Kim Calvert replied

Bill, thank you so much for such a wonderful comment..
sundawg7

Say Kim, hats off to a splendid B&W image. I love that sky and as it really benefited from the B&W. The B&W also provides a rather destitute air to the image as the silo looks so forlorn. A profound image Kim. Best wishes, Ron.
Kim Calvert replied

Thanks Ron, I really appreciate that, yes I have to agree, sometimes there is just something about a b/w image that makes it more moody.
