A great bunch of thanks for the detailed comment. Indeed it is the absence of any human beings there, together with the depth that the wide angle creates - that somehow "deserted" character to these four images. Since I don't have a T/S wide angle, a small deviation of paralellity from the film plane will always cause such perspectivistic effects, as you already found out. Thank you for your work!
This is also my favorite of the four because of the extreme perspective of depth and emptyness, but keeping as much detail as I could, under these low light conditions.
Many thanks again, and best wishes!

P.S.: Any trick, how to avoid the above mentioned effects of the wide angle, without a T/S? The only thing I can think of is to get a bellow and somehow attach it to the camera.
I think I like this one the best Nick . . . it's got more in the image . . . though I still very much like the one Annemette had chosen and for similar reasons. I should point out that the lack of fellow travelors here really gives this shot a great deal more impact. The shot strikes me as off-level slightly somehow . . . but yet, it appears level when I gauge it . . . Ahhhh . . . just checked the data and it's certainly the lens! Very good! The B&W is awesome and you have a great tonal range here. Just love the falling snow reflected in the light and even the finer dusting shown under the light which is under the roof. Nick this is, in my opinion, one of your best shots! Just outstanding and a 7/7!! YOU keep it up!! :)
