I like the aged look of the house but for me there is no clear focal point. My eyes shift between the broken window and the boarded up door. To further complicate things the horizontal elements of the electricity meter (?) and the wooden supports lie right in the middle of the frame adding more separation to the two possible subjects. Focusing on one element (door or window) and maybe composing the supports off to one side would have worked better for me. This would probably look good in B&W too.
One of the few house shots that I liked. I very much like the coloring and lighting. The cropping is great. The green weeds really bring out the weatheredness of the structure. Great work - 9 Ruthann
This is definitely a decent example of 'old' :) The weeds in the foreground of the image seem to work out ok as an enhancement to the 'rural' mood of the photo. The overall image seems a little 'flat' and lacking depth... I wonder if there would have been a different angle for this shot that would give a better three dimensional feel to the image? - jmsetzler
What a lovely tonal quality this has. Great subject and lovely low late afternoon lighting. Good subject and good technicals. It would have been possible to push the colour and contrast up a little further on this but Im glad you didn't.
