I've poked around this site twice before and I could never figure out just what purpose this old timber batten shed would have had. It's got an old rusted winch bolted to the floor, with the wire braid cable still attached to a pulley up on the roof and a wide steel post attached to the end of it. If that was all there was in there I would have assumed that it was a workshop of some kind but it also has an old timber cattle shoot leading in thru the back, as well with what looks like what would have been a holding pen. The only thing I'd say it's held in the last 30 years would be that huge camphor laurel tree which is slowly taking over the building. After researching my new friend Carl, I now know what it was used for.....
This will teach me for knocking off work early.. I got there about an hour earlier than i should have and while the sun was still quite harsh, which shows in the way that I processed. I'm not overly impressed with today's efforts at all, but least I've got another 24 photos to make an improvement.

was it to hang up cattle to let them bleed out? :-P
I don't want to know what that place was used for. Its a beautiful photo though. You truly have a gift.
I'm thinking about the same as Eury. Ewwwww. Maybe the starkness of the photo is fitting, now that you know the building's purpose?
It looks to have lasted well, especially the timber battens. Your post processing suits.

I think the blown out sky works well for teh B&W treatment, but agree that the shadowing under the eaves is probably a bit more than you'd want. Looking forward to seeing a redo, if that's what you are intending for today.
Almost looks pen & ink on the thumbnail. Very stark

Beautiful photo. The B&W really makes the shot.

This looks like an etching! Your shots always impress me!

Works nicely in black and white, and it certainly makes you wonder...
Perhaps the light is not soft and romantic but it might fit the use of the builiding.
