Arrow Too Much Black & White?
Does this look overdone or too dark? I am just learning photoshop and I am working on a laptop, so I am afraid I might not be gauging things properly.

The pp seems to really enhance this shot, makes it quite moody. The graininess and the b+w really work well the abandoned decaying building. IMO you got it right, nice work.

Yeah, I like it too. I would try a thin black border, but thats it...

I think it looks perfect the way it is, but I would agree with adding a black border. I like how dark and textured it looks. Reminds me of all the abandoned places I've seen and the gritty/dirty appearance they give off.

Sory it took so long to respond, I have been nursing a migraine!

Here it is with a thin black somewhat fading border. I think I do like it better like this. It's like looking through a window!
