1. Nice photo--I prefer the black and white because it gives the scene more character for me.
2. I had a discussion here last week about this topic of what makes a landscape, and I learned from the comments that almost anything is a landscape if you choose to call it such. Personally, I’d call I an architecture shot (and a nice one), but per other folks’ comments, yes, it is indeed a landscape. -- John

Thank you very much John.

The B&W version reminds me of the robot in the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still - Gort 
Thanks so much Tommy. What a great movie, much much better than the later version.

I think the b&w rendering suits the subject well - but I wouldn't call it a landscape! The converging verticals do add something. if possible, I'd back-off the crop a bit and not try to straighten (straightening the right hand side has tipped the whole lot to the right). Might also be worth seeing if there's more to be had from the mid-tones contrast. Plenty of potential and an interesting subject.
Thanks magnetoman. I wasn't certain about the landscape definition. I was born and raised in south central Kansas, and these were about the only things more than one story tall other than water towers (not exaggerating much) and they sort of became part of the landscape.

I agree with tommystrat - normally I'm color all the way in our world of color, but in this case b&w is perfect.
