 Increased contrast, burned clouds a bit and dodged some of the metalwork. Still not happy with the cropping and positioning but ran out of ideas.......

This was one of my interest, I'm surprised it didn't end up higher.

Very nice picture. I like the way the old glass in the window makes everything wavey.

Great composition, off-centering the subject. I really like the color of the sky. The water on the window really adds to the photo. 9

Good luck...

I like the overcast sky...it works well with the subject. Looks like a shot from an old horror movie.

Interesting reflection, I really like the effect here. I'm not sure about the diagonals in the composition though. I wonder what this might have looked like with the diagonals straightened using 'distort' in Photoshop. Nice colours.

The distortion caused by the old glass is a definite plus. Forboding sky works well.

Like the weathervane. Rain on window is a nice touch. Gives a chilling effect/appearance.
