Like the B&W the best, spooky looking! :)

Thanks HL45, The B&W is maybe a bit "film noire".
I think I like #2 the best, not sure...
 
I love these shots. The lighting to me is PERFECT. However, I am a noob so...take that with a grain of salt. Doesn't change the fact that I LOVE THESE SHOTS. Good job.
 
Yea, the B+W fits the fog well.
 
I also like the black and white best. Just a suggestion, but I might have cropped the light off on the left side and concentrated on the shadows coming out of the building.

Good suggestion

Here is a cropped version without the light, not sure now though, I am sorted of distracted about where the light haze is coming from. What do you think?

Awesome effect, but that stupid banner hanging in the opening is really taking me out of the photo.

What he said. my take was in retrospect. it's one of those, if I'd pin'd that thing up. Aside the rest of the shot is awsome.
 
Thanks Guys.
This place has an interesting history - it featured in a 1942 film by Jacques Tati - "Jour De Fete".
It is the only thing the small town of Sainte Severe has to gain some fame from. The banner is advertising the hommage to Sophie TatiScheff, Jacques' daughter.
Apparently the film was one of the first filmed in a new and untried colour process (as well as in B&W), but was never published as the company "Thomson-Color" went bust before the film could be processed.
In 1995, technology was developed to allow the original film to be restored and processed and it was Sophie that championed this through to the colour release in 1995, 50 years after it was filmed.
