I wanted to enter a photo that has had almost no editing. With this particular photo, I spent approximately 15 minutes editing it before submitting it. (Lets face it, the photo sucks). Over the last couple of months I have seen some wonderful photo's being trashed by trolls. Photo's that people have spent a great deal of time editing and submitting, so I figured what the hell, lets give the trolls something to slaughter. So here it is, bring it on trolls. This ones for you.

Well, I don't think this deserved to be in the fours. It is a great subject and with a different perspective it would have done better. I kinda of liked what processing you did.
Nice interesting subject, though the comp seems a bit centered and static to me. This is the kind of thing that when shot with a wideangle view and swoopy clouds will often win challenges.
I just love old buildings. They make such great subjects, especially in B/W. You might want to try that some time. Your processing gives the photo a somber look which does work with old buildings.
a cool old building but the tight crop, the odd colored sky, and the softness of the focus on the details of the shutters etc result in an unfinished feel
the edit is poor and the image uninteresting...it's just an old house centrally composed...walk up to the house and see if you can make better use of the angles
