 I don't expect this to go over 5.5 but it's practice for me - haven't shot specifically for a challenge in a long time and need to see if I could handle the pressure before WPL.

Redman House, just outside of Watsonville.

I am so surprised to be in the 6.3 range and very grateful for all the comments.

If anyone would like to see this house before it fell into ruin, here is a link

Redmond House official site

In the last 5 minutes before roll over it dropped - but I am pleased with the votes.

A big hug and thank you to the votes (omitting the 1 & 2 votes for sure) and a special thank you to you who have left comments. I really enjoyed them.

Thanks for the link to the house info. I really hope they can do something with it.
It would be a true loss, both architecturally and historically.

nice find for this challenge, and a nice finish as well, seems you really didn't need any practice for WPL

What a cool old house. That would be a great one to restore. I like the level of saturation you used her, it works del with the building.

Amazing. Would think stepping back a few paces would give it more breathing room, assuming there are no distractions on the left and right
