Commonly described by realtors as "in need of a little TLC" or " a bit of a fixer-upper" and "just perfect for a bit of a handy-man".

The desk is a repair job I would not take on in my workshop.

"thatll buff out"

CC anyone?

I think black and white works perfectly in the first two to convey a sense of decay. I think black and white would also make the third image more powerful as well.

I converted it to black and white, bumped the contrast a little and added some "film grain" to make the image more stark and abstract. What do you think?

I think you need to sell your prints if this is where u live

^ lol, jokes

Wow stm, that came out looking great. The only reason I didn't convert the third one was because I liked the colors in the rust, but it looks fantastic. Thanks, its appreciated.

My take on the desk in B&W.

^ Thanks, but I actually prefer STM's version. Theres not enough contrast in your version, sorry!

After seeing both images on another pc monitor, I can agree with what you said.

I like these :thumbup: I too liked the rust colours in the colour version but the black and white looks very good too. I like the textures in photo 2.

Thank you.

Lol, thanks dude. Yea, I had ended up staying up all night this past Saturday just riding around looking for this exact place. It was stuck in my memory,but I couldn't place it to be honest. I ended up finding it on the outskirts of St. Martinville (not sure if your familiar with Lafayette area).

Anyways, I took alot of pictures at this spot, there are others that come out really well, Im gonna post them in this thread a little later.
