Edited in Picture Window Pro. Exposure compensation inadvertently set to minus 2, so required brightening (brightness curve). Cropped, slightly sharpened (unsharp mask, and re-sized to Challenge specs.

you may well be the last one to get a shot of this. I took one of an old barn in about this condition ... a week later it was hit by a tornado ... only the foundation remains! I like it a lot!
Neat derelict building.. Pity you've uploaded such a small image. The light is a little harsh for this type of photo IMHO, you're better off late afternoon or early morning depending on which way the building faces, it brings out the colours and textures of the subject so much more.
Great subject, excellent background - might be better if the camera is pulled back a little to show more of the surrounding. Unfortunately, the picture's too small so I couldn't see the details I would've loved to examine. Good location and nice attempt though!
you need to submit a larger photo, I like the composition, but the resolution just doesn't compete.
I feel that my previous voting method was perhaps a bit too critical for this event.
This site's group is full of promising talent, and I would like to encourage that, and therefore will compensate for my previous median standard by ascribing your photographs a '10' rating this time.
In the future I will inspect each photograph, and really look for the beauty, design, and thought provoking composition will connects us.
You may get this comment a lot, but bigger is usually better if the resolution will stand it. Suggest maxing the dimensions on a square comp to provide more (and hopefully more interesting) detail.
More pixels please - if you use the full 640 we can get a better look at the picture. Tiny images are often a newbie problem. Search the forums for info on resizing for DPC.
