To me, this shot says abandoned but, for a different reason...abandoned for a snow sled! LOL Nice shot...nice angle.

I like the perspective running through this shot with the rail lines.

very nicely done...coloring and context show abandonment...thinking more the building than the cat though...*smile* Kitty looks well taken care of, thankfully! :)

No Takers

Hey, someone should build a wooden box for where the engine was and turn it into a lovely planter! Now, that would stop cars and turn heads! Nicely photographed.

Very spooky looking with the editing. Nice job! I'm just kind of wondering who comes to trim the hedges? *smile* They look like they've been upkept fairly recently.

Condemned in Kentucky

Really different editing and very nicely done! Love the perspective/angle of the strip. The building being condemned seems like they took a great deal of care to keep the front of it looking nicely...ie: the painted window and doors???

Gone

Really nicely photographed, very nicely edited. A bit of a tight crop but, the angle of the cottage/home is quite nice. In looking at this shot more closely...LOL....something tells me that it's not quite abandoned with the satelite dish and the newer umbrella by the side. If someone is "gone"...they're likely returning. *wink*

Originally posted by yospiff: It does not stink at all. It is on the higher side of a 5 and I can see in the voting breakdown that a lot of people liked it. You just had a large batch of 4's dragging it down as well. I think this may have just needed a little more visual impact in it. Maybe some slightly different lighting of a touch of some additional adjustment? Not really sure. I gave it a 5.

LOL Steve...."it doesn't stink at all"! Thank you for your kind words here. I agree that it needed something else, but everything in there was FAKE...including the fur that everything rested upon...as one can tell, obviously. I do agree with you on your points. I'll keep those in mind.

I really think this one should have scored higher than it did. No disrespect to the other wonderful shots but, this one had an "entire" element as opposed to a nicely edited smoke stream. I'm amazed at what you went through to get this shot. Nicely done. Have added it to my faves. :)

wow, gorgeous shot and I'm sure is doing well in scoring too! I'd love to find out what you do during editing to achieve this look. :)
