the old smith place is definitely abandoned, but it's not the focus of this picture, the sky with clouds that may forewarn of a storm, the snow-capped peaks in the far background, the red rock ridge in the near bg, and the greens of the valley floor all work together to overwhelm the part that was supposed to be the point of interest, this meets the topic in only the most periphereal of ways and I'm taking off a point for that, other than that it is a very appealing and wellexecuted shot, I like the wide variety of color and the great depth of field
Very nice image, but relying too much on the wonderful scenic background. I would really like to see more detail, color and texture in the 'abandoned building'.
Absolutely beautiful landscape. It seems just a bit overexposed. If you make one of those shadows behind the walls your black point, the shot should look even better. But even without any changes, this is a really gorgeous photo.
WOW, was just commenting on how crappy some of these pics were, but yours was a breathe of fresh air! Love the color sat. and exposure is dead on, excellent sense of scale -- highest rank yet. . .GJ
