I was out doing some work for the Rails to Trails system and saw some interesting sights. I'd left my Nikon with my truck so I only had my phone but I think it did ok. Decided to try a little B&W to keep with the rundown feeling I got.

I think the 2nd one is interesting(I love dilapidated buildings

), but might be a little too rich in midtones for my tastes. Have you tried playing with the contrast curve in PS?

Ok, I've been sidetracked lately but I finally got around to reworking this one. Any improvement?

Here's a curve I did on this in GIMP, but PS has a similar feature. If you click on the screenshot below, it show you the "after" image

Agree with Thomas, this pictures lack a bit of drama, be it a little more contrast, different light (#1) of more dynamic point of view. Something...

Here's my latest. I couldn't do much about the lighting or POV. I was in a state vehicle which I jumped out of long enough to make a quick capture before driving off again.
