Shot in B&W, minimal PP, tone enhancement to increase shadows and reduction of highlights to reduce blown out white areas near top, cropped to get in closer.

This shot is screaming for a member challenge in order to burn / dodge it. Well seen!
The shadow on the house adds quite a different feel to it. Perhaps just a little darker would balance out the overall exposure levels.
Lighting is beautiful. Old building someone once loved and you can imagine what it might have been like. Love the trees around it and the casting of shadows. Mary~
The shadow from the tree has a nice, sinister look, but the house itself seems very bright and counteracts the effect. Perhaps highlight reduction would have helped?
Too light. There just isn't enough contrast between light and dark. The building would have been a lot more prominent had you adjusted the black point. I think this is a good photo, but I think it could have been better.
Looks like a rural cottage in the sunshine to me, not a spook house. The shadows on the house are spooky, but are in competition with the sunshine and white siding.
interesting photo but way to washed out. It lacks clarity because of the contrast level and the shadow from the tree is very distracting. Good luck with this challenge.
This is an excellent subject that would look better with quite a bit more contrast. Just try darkening the shot and then raising the white point to whatever level you like. It'll look great! :-)
