Default What are your thoughts?

I took this pic of an old Asylum this weekend. I was wondering if you all thought it was any good? No post editing other than cropping and adding black and white was done.

First thing I noticed is there are no details in most of the building. This could very well be because the image is overexposed. This is where your exif information would come in handy so we know what you had your camera settings on.
I do like the angle you chose but you may consider doing a tiny bit of a larger crop. I'm just not so crazy about having some of the very edges cut off.

Here is the unedited photograph and a pic of the whole building. I cropped it down because I'm a ding dong and didn't take the date setting off so it is posted on my photos.

The pic info
shutter 1/3200
aperture f9
exp. mode aperture
focal length 55mm

I really kinda like the uncropped one. The contrast between the two colors of buildings is very nice.

I like the un-cropped version myself. A little cloning to remove the date would work.

One thing at a time.. I'm just learning how to use my camera I don't know if I can handle learning a program yet! Although I did sign up for a free trial version of Photoshop Elements.
