 Saw this challenge & immediately thought of this house. After going thru all the shots I took alot of them were hard to work with b/c all the weeds & stuff surrounding the house were really bright.
Editing:
Levels
Curves
Brightness/Contrast
Selective Color
a little USM
Color Balance

Couldn't decide between this & the b&w version, hopefully made the right choice!

Too many trees. It hides the house which in my opinion is what you want to stand out.
