It's tilting, which would have been an asset if it were just a bit more. The grain adds a nice touch but feels a bit overdone.

Nice action. Grain and dof not my liking. The b&w, shadows and lighting very much my liking.

Very interesting shot. Hard to tell what it is though. Lamp and shade maybe.

Faded Red Shack

Comment by Ice-Tea-1983:
I'm glad you liked it, and you did a good job on fiddling around with it, now it looks almost as when I shot it. Personally, I wanted the environment to look more vibrant than the shack to further the feeling of the shack having become obsolete and faded. Had I done this in Black and White, the feeling of the world around the shack would not have been as strong, and there was little more I could have done with the image because of the Basic Editing Rules. Thank you so much for the nice comment...
