this was a confirm of the following theory: "photography is 60% skill+20% light+20% LUCKY"!!
we arrived at this abandoned country house at 80km from where we live, it was cold, dark and damn scary!! it was also halloween day, so for all the trip we continued to get my girlfriend scared.. it wasn't hard! :D
..this is a very impressive location: ideal for some horror like "the blair witch project", the light was great and the clouds perfect..
i thanks every body for the comments and the congratulation.. i'm very happy for my first ribbon!! i still can't belive that this shot have been over 7.00 for almost all time.. :D

this is an amazing shot! wowie!! i'm a total amateur photog. the photos on this site are totally a cut above anything i could do. did you bring lights to this site? how was this photo processed? did you use photoshop or something? if so, what effects were used? i have an canon digital rebel xt, so not a prof. camera.
WOW! This is fanTASTIC! It looks like a haunted fairy tale. Mega Congratulations on your first (of many I'm sure) ribbon, your highest score, and fabulous photography!
Nice HDR, I think it's really cool how you included the distant lights in the background. It's like a contradiction here's is this seemingly abandoned manor and yet just a few miles a way there is some sort of current civilization
Very spooky looking with the editing. Nice job! I'm just kind of wondering who comes to trim the hedges? *smile* They look like they've been upkept fairly recently.
