Curly from South Shields, United Kingdom

Wow, tremendous Ted. I guess those arches are a modern transformation, they do look very good in the old mill setting!

@Curly: cheers Curly...not sure how much is new build but Manchester has a fair amount of old factory/mill conversion...in fact SWMBO tells me she wants one when I retire!

MadScientist from Düsseldorf, Germany

Wow, remarkable architecture! (And not even in Gothic style! ;-)

Fabulous in b&w, love the framing, love the whole thing!

@Richard: thanks Richard...much appreciated!

Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States

The light just re-doubles the values and reflections of the arches. Nicely done, Ted. The sky and leaves are as a fabulous bonus.

Know the building and area well. Nice B&W representation of it. Doesn't a radio station broadcast from the area?

The mono really gives the shot a stark,hard feeling to the building.That sky is also top drawer !!

Dutçh from Chicagoland, United States

Mike from Lichfield, United Kingdom

Nicely photographed Ted. I bet the place would be interesting to photograph on a windless day making the most of reflections.
