Comment by Alex_Europa:
It looks like it has a slight rightward lean to it...other than that, nice shot.

The title fits. Even the clouds emit a feeling of bleakness.

Comment by Kempostudent3:
Very nice contrast, although I'm not sure I'd call this a bleak house particularly. Still, I really like the shot.

Comment by Lutchenko:
I like the idea here and its a good shot. For me this would have been better taken from one corner low down with a wide angle lens to give a more sinister feel. Good shot all the same.

A decent shot but a little lacking in imagation.

First Impressions
A good selection of rocks/boulders, but the trees are getting in the way.

Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
You used Capture NX in anger, interesting - I'm sure you're not the first. You say you will go back later in better light, that might allow you to take a different vantage point to minimise the trees and shrubbery a little better. Perhaps a change of lens is in order, especially to focus better on the rocks. The most interesting area seems to be at the top, so my eyes are interested to see more detail there.

Comments, Score & Placement Review
52/82 is not that great, but I'm guessing you are there because nothing 'jumps out' in the image to hold a viewer's attention long enough to explore the image. Your commenters like the scene and most seem to like the greenery mixed in.

Summary
For me, much stronger for this Challenge with less greenery, maybe even a bold crop off the bottom to allow the top area to dominate more, if the quality was there in your image to allow that, which it does appear to be.

I really like the composition of this shot, the greens and greys of the landscape work really well here.
