What interested me was the pigeons. They were consistently flying out of the building and in this negative, they fly out at right angles to the shape of the building.

I am new to APUG. Been photographing for over 30 years and black and white is my passion.

Thanks for the feedback given.
 
I like this photo a lot but I keep looking at it and wishing you cropped the left part to just inside the building so that it matches the right side which is cut off. I think it might look more appropriate.
 
Welcome Kreeger! I like this image a lot -- like you, I think the pigeons make the shot. I have a few negatives of old grain elevators that I really should try to print. This image is definitely an inspiration to do just that.
 
This is one of the nicest Grain Silo shot I have seen for a while - may be less is more

Love these shots of Grain Silos - they are so symbolic of a time in the North American Mid-West
