 Eh, not exactly what I wanted to submit, but I was pressed for time and I was a little uncomfortable with the locals checking me out.

Just between these two houses were four gentlemen playing some dice at the end of the driveway against a worn down garage. I really wanted to get them in the shot with this old house, but I thought I would be pressing my luck since they were already eyeballing me.

Parts of Detroit are very scary these days! That's an interesting story tho about the dudes playing dice.

Love the highlight on the building. Congrats on a great finish!

I think that this used to be quite the posh area to live in during the early to mid 1900's...what a shame...excellent job

I like the spot of light on the building, it does a very well job of drawing you into the picture and giving it a focal point. Good job.

I've heard you can buy houses on ebay real cheap there. This one just needs a little TLC. Great shot.
