I think this is an old garage by Magazine Beach in Cambridge. I like the way the shadows look, even if it's kind of a boring shot. I'm new to this, so any C&C welcome.

It's a nice shot as far as sharpness of image, etc., but I think it would be more interesting if you had adjusted your angle of view somewhat so we could see more of the face of the building (where there appears to be a door and sign).

I'd be curious to see the image with a variety of color filter affects to see how that would change the character of the image.

Thanks for the comment. As I recall the building, though, that side was actually pretty disappointing in its potential. The "sign", for example, was actually just blank wood.

As far as filters go, I'm pretty unfamiliar with using them. I played around with the colors quite a bit before converting to B&W, trying to find what I liked, but I do need to learn more about how to use them. Also, I did the PP running Linux, and I don't think UFRaw or the GIMP offer an easy way to apply a color filter like DPP does.
