I hope that voters realize that this meets the challenge for desolation. I also hope that I captured the wonderful sunset light filtering through the old house and reflecting off the walls. I used f8 and long exposure which gave the saturation of color and sharp detail. I also used my graduated gray filter to add drama to the sky. Thank you.

Beautiful shot. I love the slight hint of red and pink tones. I've never tried a long exposure on a subject during the day. I will have to give it a try.
Even those this is a desolation image and the house has seen better days, it does seem very calming. I could see this hanging on a wall somewhere. The clouds add a nice drama to it and the various colors on the walls match the sky. The only thing I would have preferred would be that the roof of the building not be so dark. There seems to be missing slates (or similar) and I think that would have helped with the overall feel. Normally I dont like 'big' borders, but it works here.
Nice shot. Meets the challenge. Good colors. I normally don't like such a wide border but it works with this one. DOF good. Composition good. Good luck with the challenge.
