Bob, excellent job with the lighting here. Your exposure looks spot-on. Maybe I'm going crazy, but the horizon looks skewed slightly to the right? It's the slight tilt on the top tower that is either creating an optical illusion or is indicative of need of minute adjustment. At any rate, not a big deal - your architectural shots are very strong indeed!

Very pretty! I like its peachy tones against the deep blue night. Nice angle and I like the way the sides are cropped... I guess I might sorta maybe want a smidgen more space above the spire for breathing room...? but it's no biggie. You've really got these architectural shots looking swift!

I can imagine a cute little town surrounding this.

Works well for this challenge, though were it advanced, I'd have toned down the noise in the sky just a bit. I do like the yellow tint - adds to the "aged" appearance of the shot overall. Quite a lovely old structure despite it's somewhat rundown appearance, isn't it?

I agree with Julianne, maybe tone down a little bit the yellow? the noise works perfectly here though, and a very nice angle you chose, it really helps to create depth.

Bob,
I wondered if this one was yours when I was voting - I am starting to recognize your style. I really like the sepia/yellow toning on it, and think it was an excellent choice for this challenge. I would like to see a little more negative space in the sky, but realize a different crop might be impossible given the location. Good entry! And look at that score from your commenters!

When my husband sees a house like that he always says "Has my name on it. Slap on a little paint and move right in." The grain really adds to the run-down condition of the old house. I gave it a 7 because I didn't like the yellow tone. It was a little too strong, and didn't seem right on the roof.
