I wouldn't ask the local authority if you want any possibility of ANYONE being able to access the building. One whiff of risk and it'll be barricaded or torn down.

With a mask you're going to be protected, without one you are at risk, but it's probably still not a very high risk if you take care not to disturb anything.

I take it back re the woodpigeon crop... I think my internet connection froze and left the image only 3/4 downloaded last night, so I was missing the bottom quarter - it looks fine now!!

Wow, I love 10 and 16 (with the bed frame).

Looks like Banksy's a fan of this place too!

If this place was near me I'd be over like a shot

Sorry Richard, I was referring to the original pictures, which look a bit 'pastelly' for want of a better word!

These look a bit too cropped for me, except for the woodpigeon, which has a great pose and an interesting background. Strange crop ratio though - was there something distracting at the bottom of the pic?

In case you want to check his portfolio, George has also been trying his hand at bird pictures, and like you, he also focussed on the breast - but it was excusable in his case

Personally I like the little path and ribbon of grass at the bottom, and background of trees at the top, especially in the first. Very prosaic.

What would set these shots off perfectly would be a passer-by in front of the fence, someone whose demeanor contrasted with the colourful artwork!

Not sure about the processing though, the colours seem a bit unnatural.

... I wonder if Stuey's son has been over to G's gallery to check out the picture being discussed?

I agree with G about the waterfall, going in a little closer so it's all about water and rock would have been a nice idea though. Good stock pigeon photo too!

Well done Judith Ann, and Aiki for probably the most pun-filled judges comments ever!

I regret running out of time to enter the competition... I had an idea in mind - an egg having its private parts electrocuted by some Egyptian eggs, while some American eggs look the other way, whistling. I was going to call it 'Eggstraordinary Rendition'
