I love that abandonned house, think that you should take it on as a project in itself!!!

Another great shot ful of great tones, and sharpness that mean I can almost feel the flaking paint and rough wood

Lovely

Such wonderful textures and tones; how does this thing stay up? It doesn't seem to be made of the same material for more than a few feet in any one direction. I would love to see what you could get with a lens baby on this, to undo some of the backward tilt I feel, but as is it just lends to the "this is about to fall down" feeling I get when viewing the whole image. Well shot!

It's not fun until someone loses an eye ;) This is a delightful shot, with excellent choices all along, from focal point, to DoF, to B&W tones, sharpness, and composition. Wonderful.

I love the feel of this; I would actually go the opposite direction from Crystal ( jaded_youth), though (isn't DPC great?), and use a longer shutter speed, hoping to get some of the motion in both the branch (which I like) and the curtains. Some light toning here might also work here, though perhaps more silvery than sepia-y.

Oh yeah, as you may have noticed from own posts in this challenge I LOVE old run down decaying buildings, they have such stories to tell if you just look hard enough, and you obviously do. I love this shot with each window showing a different bit of the personality of the building. Great stuff!! Have you seen the work of Tillman Crane?? some very haunting and impressive stuff...Thank you so much for all the comments and encouragement during this challenge, I have enjoyed this 30 days of B&W to no end, as well as your images and everyone elses, there have been some just incredible images presented this month by all and this is what DPC is all about sharing and supporting each other...thanks!! You know there is a new 30 day challenge...Ordinary Objects...Hmmm...

I was not expecting it to be so large of a home, with curtains all over. Very sad indeed. You take such wonderful photos, thanks for sharing! I've enjoyed getting to know you. It's always nice reading your comments! Take care!

I love the subject matter. the old window is very cool. it seems a bit soft though and the branch on the upper righthand corner is too obstructing. Overall it's a great location and a reshoot at a higher shutter speed holding back that branch would have great results I suspect.
