A beautiful development of this wall by the black wall on the right, textures stand out splendidly. The wide angle gives a pleasant impression.

I agree, the wide angle and the tilt is excellent. The parking lot AND the town seem deserted. That makes for a nice eerie feeling!

WOW! I really like this a lot. A- the wide angle B- the black and white tones are awesome. Took my breath away.

Downtown never looked better. Serious Grant, this one is great & amazing. If you could only see me leaning speechless on a parking meter. Great, Grant, a truly brilliant picture that would look good hanging on my wall. A favourite indeed. All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

I like the visual effect of the lens you used in taking this picture. The black and white qualities are exceptionally good. Very strong image!

Fantastic! This one has such a surreal feel to it! Love that old wall - so plain and stark and how it contrasts with the building across the street.

Alright, a fellow Cosina-Voigtlander shooter. Most of your shots are leveled and straight. This one has a bit of action to it, as if shot from the hip. Nice shot.

The converging effect of the wide angle works very well here to add a dynamic effect. Even though the place seems empty the “movement” or dynamic effect gives the place life and it feels less desolate because of it – a dramatic image.

This is amazing. The perspective is really interesting and the lines are great...right down to the diagonal contrails in the sky.

Absolutely LOVE this one Grant! The angle of the buildings and how they seem to lean toward each other are fantastic. Excellent tones!

Vertical lines echoed in the contrails pulls it all together.
