I like the simple tones and easy on the eyes composition. A hair bright on the roof but that's liveable in my books. I would have cropped out the brown driveway to give the semi illusion of dangling teeth. But if the bottom brown works for you to give stability to the lower image section that is cool too. A nice comfortable image that settles well with a mug of hot cocoa.

Wow, great textures. The composition is effective. Nice, gritty study of an old building.

Good composition, nice mood. The subject doors are a little dull. Shooting snow is hard and easily fools the exposure system in the camera - might try to shoot snow with one f-stop smaller.

Only problem I can see is your photo is not perfectly level. My tripod has a level on it. Worth investing in. Still a good photo.

Unfortunately, this is not very high impact for me, largely because of the soft focus. With all the repeating patterns, as well as the "character" of the peeling paint, I would have loved to see this in sharp focus. The shot does carry a certain air of "old", "decay", and "abandonment". For voting purposes, I am taking into consideration that your camera may not have been capable of a sharper focus.

Was this an outtake for the windows challenge? lol. What works really nice here is the symetry (doors, roof, walls), that's why I'd crop our the street. Would make for a more effective picture. Good luck. Jacko. 7
