The ghost village of Toiano

Hi everybody!
Last week, I visited a very peculiar place, Toiano, not so far from my native town. It's a ghost medieval village where the last inhabitant lived around 50 years ago.

So now it's possible to take shots in a unusual silence and walk in the main street surrounded by abandoned old farmhouses.

Here's the direct link to the gallery on my website.

I really like the first picture. Beautiful! The second picture, doesn't do it for me. It just doesn't pop.

Being as I got my start in black & white, I'll vote for #2. Think I like to see deeper blacks.
Good job

Thanks for comments and critiques.
Yes, it's a kinda creepy village, must be the awareness that until not more than some decades ago it was full of people busy with their daily lives. Now all you can hear is some weird bird singing and the rustling of leaves. Amazing and scary at the same time.
