I would have rated this way higher than it got, I think it should be in the top three. It's a little heavy handed with the saturation/"painterly" story-book aesthetic, but I like it a lot, and the aesthetic goes well with the picture. The blue spots come out so strong, they look a little odd.
I'd have maybe cropped the house a little closer into the bottom left corner, but that's just me. Good job, anyway. The lines of that collapsing house are just great- it has so much twist.
how brilliant is this in every sense of the word ..!!.. a fantastic shot and your wonderful 'out there' processing .. congrats on a 13th place .. this image is so fairy tale .. i'm expecting either red riding hood, or some weird fantasy creature to emerge from behind that building .. :)
looks right of that hänsel and gretel story. the colors are quite kitschy, but i guess if look at it in the context of the fairytale you quite nailed it...;)
