Whereas the colour version of this image gave you the feeling of standing in an office, the black-and-white version works completely differently. The broken glass now seems not just to frame the view, but rather to overpower you.
The space behind it towers up, imposing, almost menacing. The sharpness of the glass catches the light in harsh contrasts. The rhythm of the broken surfaces and the industrial ceiling above reinforces the sense of desolation, power and mystery.

For me, this image shows how powerful perspective and black and white can be. In an interior, this is an eye-catcher with character - raw, layered, and perfect for lovers of contrast and industrial photography with a soul.
