Taken on the edge of the Chatsworth Estate, Derbyshire earlier this week. Found this barn off the beaten track and thought it made a good image.

I like the composition, but the B/W lacks contrast.
Robbie
Thanks to everyone for the comments and votes.
The photo was taken with the intention of converting to B&W. I tried a higher contrast version after Robbies comments using a contrast layer adjustment but it wouldn't take any more without turning too dark at the bottom and too light at the top.
Sharon, is your mod posted as an improvement or an alternative? Either way I like the effect, how did you do it please?

Quote: Think the conversion really adds something to the picture, makes the clouds stand out much more, well done
Far from an expert at mono..something l need to learn.. but always told if the blacks are at black and whites at white..!!
looks fine to me also..!! not to keen on the modification version taken it beyond being photography..!!!
Lovely work..!
Nikki !
Thanks to Nikki and tepot for the comments.
I agree that Sharons mod is beyond a standard photograph, I refer to such images as photo-art. Some of the super saturated images you see on this site also fall into this bracket in my opinion.
Some photo-art I like, some I don't. I judge each image by its own merits much like watercolours, oils, etc.
Off to get some more images for B&W now.
Thanks again to all.
Tony
Nicely composed and converted shot Tony. That Sharon is a bit weird so I'd ignore that mod 
I always feel with a shot like this a brooding storm sky works best. Kind of adds to the atmosphere. Still, you managed to produce a well toned image that's very easy on the eye.
