Shot at an old ugly house in Ambridge, PA. The rest of the house looked equally horrible. Looking at the shot, it looks like I had desaturated colors other than red... but I didn't -- this is exactly how it looks!

Unfortunately, this is not very high impact for me, largely because of the soft focus. With all the repeating patterns, as well as the "character" of the peeling paint, I would have loved to see this in sharp focus. The shot does carry a certain air of "old", "decay", and "abandonment". For voting purposes, I am taking into consideration that your camera may not have been capable of a sharper focus.
Great find! The texture of the paint, the sign, the old curtain, all make for a great picture. One point deducted for shooting straight on. Try a different point of view for more creativity. One man's opinion. (9) John Gill
a sad comment on our current economic situation. i like the photo a lot. i assume you stripped the other colors out and left the red, which leaves a very compelling picture. nice shot.
