I love them all, Terry, and I'm also delighted to see you back on the site!! I hope all is well with you!

In the first you are dealing with a sloping geography, but the building is built plumb and square (at least that's how this 40 year carpenter learned it) and if you run a true vertical line through the pic you'll see the structure is not in plumb, nor, to a lesser degree, level. In the second the phenomenon is less evident but to my eye that doorway needs a little scootch to the right. In the third I think it'd look better with the wall paper plumbed...and maybe a bit sharper focus. JMHO, but I'm a bug on lines doncha know. ;0)

The sliding barn doors in the first shot are vertical, unless my browser window edges are not plumb. The sloping ground adds to the non-level perception. (I enlarged and moved left and right.)
In the second, the left building is only off a few degrees, which I would attribute to the structural integrity of the buildings.
In the third, I believe the camera angle yields the perception of not plumb (check the doorway).
I'd keep them as is for leveling.

Really like the second shot.

Will play closer attention to that Charlie, but a lot of these barns etc in Tennessee may have started out plumb but as the years go by they may no longer be so or the foundations were simply a pile of rocks. But you are correct about the need to be straight.
...yes, indeed on the olde constructs. But a practiced eye can see what's what...heh...you rock on, Tad!
I really like your second photo. The processing is very nicely done.

I really like the mood and warmth of the second image. Definitely a keeper.
Did you try different vantage points when creating the second. Just seems a little "scrunched" to me and might be a bit better in a little wider format. I'm wondering how it would look if you took a few steps back and to the right. Would it separate the two structures a bit and provide a bit more "space". Just thinking outlaid. Love the image.

Nice B&W, I miss working in the darkroom.
All are very good B&W images - perfect subjects for that treatment! I especially like #2 and#3.

Tad these are really well done images. Was the 1st one Infrared? It is stunning and has such depth.
You have a great eye sir.
I particularly liked the second one. Great shot.
Beautiful set, Tad. I am also going to throw my hat into the rink for #2. It has a bit of an eerie, haunting look; nicely done.
Great set Tad. Really like the B&W treatment.
