A good strong effort. I think some jagginess and blown highlights, especially in the background, may be what let it down a bit. It got a 7 from me, I like what you did achieve with this entry and it conveys a sense of decay and abandonment very well.
Thanks for a very good vote Steve, and I agree with everything you said. The jaggies in the trees were very troublesome to me, but in the end there was nothing I could do about them. I normally don't shoot other peoples property so I was a bit nervous that someone would say something. I ended up taking about 12 shots total and wasn't happy with any of them in the series. I truly expected this entry to do worse than it did so ending up at 5.4+ was a nice surprise. My hope was that the subject matter and processing would carry it despite the imperfections and to that end I think it probably did.
It did well enough to take over 4th place on my profile page so I am thankful for the votes that got it that far. :)
