quite a scary spot as you present it , .. effective large angle posing, .. I like the conversion too but I felt the sky a bit dark, David. The sky blackness must be pp, cause trees behind the edifice are lit.

Thanks for your comment Senn. The sky is very deliberately black, it was the mood I was trying to create.

Good strong contrasty and very dramatic capture

Normally, I would comment on converging lines here. However, the conversion to black and white and the angle at which the photograph has been taken from, works very well - I like it.
Well taken.

Not everything in life is Black & White, If only it were!
