I'm not quite understanding the score or the overprocessing comments - I just don't see it as overprocessed. I like the crisp clean lines of the building's structure, I think it's a solid composition (the photograph - not so sure about the structure) and I like it in B&W.
Must have been a pretty place in it's glory days. I think that it's a little too unconstrated for a lot of DPCers tastes through my own experiences but, it's got a lot of charm to it. Makes one wonder what laid behind those walls at one point, doesn't it?
i don't feel your post processing is working very well here, it's overprocessed in my opinion and the trees have halos but this is a very very cool find
