This is me standing beside one of my favourite models. I have used this old house on many challenges.
As soon as I saw the subject Duotone I thought of this shot. I love the windows angled on the side of the house. This poor house is abandoned... too bad, it is a beautiful building.
Hope this does well

I sense a slight paleness to the image. Maybe it's my taste, but I would love to see what an adjustment of curves or levels would do to enrich the overall tonality. I like the composition and don't find it boring at all.
Color: Very nice use of duo tones. I feel that the classic sepia was a bood choice for your color.
Contrast: Very nice. You have the whites the blacks and everything in between.
Focus: The house looks to be in perfect focus, however the model looks be just a touch soft.This might have been intentional, or even unavoidable due to the DOF. But I still think it would have looked a little better with a crisper focus.
Subject: Ok not exeptionally exciting but the house is interesting enough. The house has great tones. But probably would not have carried the shot by itself. (at least from the perspective and vantage point). The model looks decent. Together they work a bit better but. I can't really seem to find a conection between the two subjects. If the model had been raking the yard, painting or somthing I could have seen the relationship. But as is it just feels like two different photos.
Lighting: Nice and creepy..no complaints
Overall: This is a good shot. Other than the relationship problem I would have no qualms with framing this peice and showing it off proudy. Very artistic, technicaly sound, and pleasant photo nice job!!
This is interesting to look at and makes a good duotone. The architecture of the structure is fascinating and the portrait in the forground really compliments the composition. Very very nice and one of my personal favorites in this collection. 9
This photo really appeals to me. I think its very creative and adds a lot of impact to the composition to have the person in the foreground like you have. Very well done.
