Very nice shot for tools, I like those type of images, and always try and get similar when we visit Whitby.
Very nice image, really suits the B&W treatment with great contrast.
That is a belter of a shot Andrea, glad you said about the leaning chimney. Great sky sets it all off beautifully with the surroundings and love the tones and texture in the flint
A really nice photo and mono was a good choice!
Really nice image for Discarded very nice B&W processing too.
Its been quite a few years since I've been to Mann, but I recognised it instantly!
Nice processing Andrea it works well.
Agree, the B&W processing really does suit it, it has a sort of crunchy feel with suits the stonework.
An interesting read on your flickr page and the additional info on here that it was blowing a hooley while you were taking it.
Grrat image. I really like the composition and the B&W plus grain really suits the image (and theme), and the clouds almost look like steam coming from the chimney. Lovely stuff.
Very nice and well suited to black and white.
Cracking shot there Andrea thought I was back in Cornwall for a while!
you are doing well with the B & W shots Andrea, very selective editing for the discarded image and I'm pleased you mentioned the chimney leaning as it was the first thing I noticed.
I agree with your selection of mono to suit the scene and your inclusion of surroundings to add context too.
It's a good pov and looks good in black & white.
Nice shot for discarded, looks good in black n white
Like the angle on this shot and lovely contrast in the b&w which gives it an industrial feel.
Nice discarded shot Andrea. I agree with a previous comment that the clouds do look a bit like smoke. b & w does lend itself to the theme, but I can imagine it would also look good in colour.
Lovely angle on the building Andrea and great in mono. I love the way these old mine buildings sit in and become part of the landscape.
Hi Andrea,
The abandoned mines in Cornwall are a favourite of mine whenever we visit. I have tried taking them in colour and B&W but I feel the emotions it evokes are far greater when taken in B&W. The post processing is superb, I am in awe. Big thumbs up from me.
I agree it works well in B/W great old building
Beautiful shot for Discarded Andrea. Lovely processing the really suits it. Nice angle and composition too.
We look forward to seeing them when you're ready. No hurry!Groan.... This year is going too fast! Four themes behind already I have the Snapper's Choice and Wild images but they're still in the camera . It's been a busy couple of weeks and I have a tricky deadline this weekend but I'll get the first two processed and added here as soon as poss and think about Broken and Ability.

2 wild guessesDefinitely broken and I would love to know what they are or were for!
Three very nice images Andrea, liking the brave lady in mono which suits the shot. The power of the sea is a great capture and hope you did not suffer much damage.
The last one is my favourite as love how the rust just pops out at the viewer, some sort of marker ?
Nice catch up Andrea.
And living on a small island. Why wouldn't most of them included the power of the sea, on way or another
2 wild guesses
1) I see these or something more durable these days as "vents" for venting methane on old landfill sites.
These days of course the methane is carried underground to on site "gas stations" to power the works.
2)Is it possible there are old subterranean air raid shelters or stores or similar in this area?
They could be plain air vents for goods or people
