Stills

To be precise Rex - Cydweli. Colin uses the Anglicised version. A very typical industrial building. Is this being used as a squat? It looks as though all the EU objective one money isn't seeping past Llanelli.

The asymmetrical framing serves to illustrate the way the place was built. The dancing flowers are slightly at odds with the grimness of the rest. My guess is that it was a warehouse of some sort, maybe even a mill before that.
 

I know I'm looking at a dilapidated window, but my brain keeps saying "quilt." I love how the variation in the window panes interplays with the variation in back ground. It works.

On a technical note, web presentation of the kind of fine detail present in the cracking paint is really difficult. I'm not sure it's possible at this resolution. It would be interesting to see what this looks like larger, or in a print.
 

John - Kidwelly seemed to be most often written in the anglicised way. I reckon it attracts some visitors simply because it is easier to say/read/ask directions for than many of its neighbours.

The building seemed to be an abandoned school of some sort.

I was interested to see that Kidwelly had two Methodists churches - one labelled the 'English Methodist Church'. It made me wonder about the history of the town.

Rex - no comment about the lack of squareness? :-)
I was concentrating so hard on the verticals, that I missed the horizontals...this shot was supposed to be square.

Matt - I changed the sharpening of this shot at the last moment to try and capture some of the texture you mention. I think I got the lower stonework right, but not the paint. Maybe you are right and the scale defeats it (it hasn't been printed yet so I can't comment on that). I've had a couple of shots recently where the Ps Bicubic Sharper routine has over-sharpened during the down resolution to this size, and then up pops this one which was severely undersharpened after both downsizing and sharpening. Sometimes the craft aspects do my mind in.
 

Cydweli was aimed at Rex!

Why is it that photographers like peeling paint? Perhaps the sharpening issue bears a message!
 

"Quilt" is a good word for this.

I particularly like the center pane with the two far windows showing, and beyond that, a building.
 

wellies?

This image gives a very strong "old" message about the place, especially with what looks like a new brick retrofit next to the window panes. Interesting flow of textures and shapes, also unusual selection of composition, cutting off the windows on the right.
 

The general dilapidation turned off my squareness sensor!

Wellies?

Possibly an interesting discussion about image size. I read Lenswork, the images in that are about the same size as the stills images on my monitor. When I look at Lenswork I concentrate on the art. I think bigger images would mean more attention to technicalities. We tend to mention technicalities when they 'impinge' upon the art. I think that is right.
 

All the windows and brickwork break up this shot into fragmented views. It's all a little jarring. The only strength is the vertical brick supporting wall. It holds all the competing elements together. Quilt is a good analogy for this shot. I'm also left wanting to see a much wider take of this.
