Once a garden now ...by
JohannesFrankComment by FocusPoint: Hello from Critique Club :)
The drama is right there front of me. I like the way you did this picture right from the start.
Technically, nice exposed, clean, sharp image. F stop right on the money :)
Composition, very well. Some photos like this one need subject on the middle because of the surroundings. You did cover-up some stuff with post process which is good because it brings the old house more to our attention. Here is one little thing that I would do, crop it more and bring the whole building a bit closer. Not much, but just a little bit. First look, I can't see the broken wall, it would be nice to see it closer.
Overall it is a very nicely done challenge photo. I would give 7, 5.8 probably little low, should be around 6.1 in my opinion. This doesn NOT deserve 2s or 3s at all... Damn trolls LOL
I checked your work, you know what you are doing, keep it up. Very good photos, I am sure you will be winning another ribbon soon :)
Good luck,
Leo
