I like the content a lot, it has a wonderful texture to it. The rich colour of the grass and the moody sky complement the abandoned nature of the main subject too. It feels very soft in focus to me though, which I'm not so keen on. 7 (//www.dpchallenge.com/forum.php?action=read&FORUM_THREAD_ID=129433)

I'm guilty of overburning a lot of the time, and in my mind you've done almost exactly what i would do :). it makes for a neat effect - kind of surreal - but looks quite unnatural; The 'shadows' at the front don't seem to mesh with the shadows on the buildings or in the sky. Nice composition though, and fabulous colours.

I can't quite understand the dark shadow cast on the right side ... if it is really a part of the composition to set the mood or should it be corrected (gradient layer or something)? But I like the subject, it is a very powreful portrait of many farms across America. I drove from the midwest to the east coast and back last summer and decaying farm houses and barns like this are common sights. As a foreigner, I can't quite understand it.
