Some pics from the weekend.

I was trying to capture how foreboding this place looks. Did I manage?

While I find the shots appealing I don't get the foreboding. I think they're a little too pretty. My suggestion is to try changing the sky to make it greyer in PP (like thunderstorm sky) and maybe make the images a little less bright.

Stubbsy, thanks for the comment.

Maybe a bit more like this?

Exactly. Well done. Now that's foreboding

All you need now is the shadow of a gallows on the wall and you would have a pic to put fear into everyone  BTW I like

Hi Jonesy, when I saw the title I thought you were going to show us from the inside Maybe caught photographing in a Westfields?

You have captured the foreboding quite well, especially the last with fence, but for real foreboding I would chop out and change the sky in photochop, or do what I do since I no zip about PS, go back on a day when you have a black and angry sky. Now that on the last shot would be foreboding.

I'm guessing you missed the sample above where this change has been done

No Stubbsy, I mean Foreboding with capitol F. No namby pamby windows 98 clouds in the background, just big black ones, which look like (as someone has here on there sig line) an angry old man sending soup back at a deli
