 The image was shot during a rainy cold day on a Italian small artificial lake.
The house is the unused headquarters of a old hydroelectric central.

Shot in raw, crop, NR for smooth the image, level, curves, contrast, USM, saturation control.
I want to remove some twigs over the iced lake but in basic editing I can't do it.

Great landscape shot! Almost movie like, but not enough emphasis on the building IMO. :)

Beautiful, although it's a bit far away to tell if the building is abandoned. It does seem remote and forlorn though.

nice shot, but the river stands out more than the house. If you had cropped the bottom the house would have stand out more

Top half is beautiful. The bottom however I find very distraction.

Not easy to see abandonment here. It's a nice winter scene, but we don't see that this is an abandoned building.
