Nicely done. Nice textures and exposure. It's often a difficult choice doing these on what line you set your camera or enlarger to make a straight edge. In your choice of the shutters and perhaps the window you left the end wall as tilted which to me gives a bit of a vertigo effect as I look down the picture. That is probably partly due to the overhead wooden walkway as well. It's an interesting choice and probably adds to the overall effect of the picture. But your handling of the exposure is really well done as nothing is black and nothing is blown out, except that piece of the end wall which would be easy to burn in in printing. Really well done picture. I looked at some of you other work as well and they are exceptional. You have a great eye, and the beauty of an 8x10 shines through.
 
Thanks for the comments - the enclosure at the end was added to the interior of the building, I doubt it was level when built and may have shifted as the whole structure has been settling over time as it was built on fill along the lake front.
