While exploring an abandoned military base I came across this water towe than had collapsed/been cut. I snapped about five photos and I'm still processing most of them. This is the first one I finished, I'd really like some C&C. Am I going in the right direction with these black and whites?

I would say no.

As this shot was loading I thought it looked promising as the sky looks amazing. However I struggle to identify the main structure and I feel it looks over processed. I love the wire hoops as a lead in though, that's very unusual.

Thanks John, I'll work on toning it down a bit. To be honest I had no idea what this was until I went inside. It is a massive water tower, two of the legs were cut and it fell on it's side. Then someone came a long and cut the top off. We are into the inside of the water tower.

Here's a shot from the other side.

Now the second shot is absolutely killer!

I still would never guess what it is, but that's hardly the point. If anything it reminds me of a WWII Zeppelin.

I like the second shot. Nice PP in that one - the sky and clouds look great.
