The Stone House

Comment by MelonMusketeer:
This is very nice, and has a good story to go with it. It makes me think about how it must have been to have lived at the time this was built, and to have done this kind of work.
The image itself is well processed, with the grainy looking foreground, and selective desat to get the color to pop thru the window the way it does. The textures an lines where the stones fit to each other is a visual treat.

Stunning. The colors and textures are outstanding. The photo with the yellow flowers is the bomb. I hope it's not due to pollution that they haven't bloomed in 10 years.

I really, really like your photo. It looks like a very interesting place - like places I've seen in New Mexico, Arizona or Utah. I'm giving it a 10 and hope it will finish in the top 20 in this mega-entry challenge.

Lovely color and texture. It's hard to grasp any context for scaling/size without a foreground anchor. Overall it's an interesting capture. Good luck in the challenge.

OH wow! The texture and the colors here are fantastic. Almost looks like fur and that makes me want to touch it :)Very well done.

I like the shadows in it. I hope you didn't have to wait all day for them.
