 Hi Tracy :)
 
 FIRST IMPRESSION: 
 Really nice contrast! 
 
 COMPOSITION: 
 I like the way you tried to get some of the sky to contrast with the house....but I really wish there was more sky. The fact that you cut off the tip of the house, IMO, takes from the beauty of the photo. I would even try to get the entire chimney in as well. Other than that, I think the angle you shot it at is very interesting :| 
 
 TECHNICAL: 
 Nice and sharp photo. Maybe a bit over exposed. Sky looks very deep and real. :)
 
 ARTISTIC: 
 I think it's worth going back and shooting some more, as this house looks really neat (you probably did take more shots). I think closing in on the windows would have been better for this challenge. :| 
 
 OVERALL: 
 A nice a sharp photo that would have done better with a diff comp.
 
 Cheers and good luck in the future challenges. |

		| A good idea. The crackle of branch shadows add to the psychological depth of your image. As my choice I would like to wave a magic wand and get closer to eliminate the sky and chimney as the story is told by the windows themselves. Only a suggestion to your worthy moment of inspiration. |

		| Ahhhhh.  The beauty of the old buildings.  I love it.  I'm so glad you did it in color also.  That beautiful blue sky against the rool line is georgeous.  I love the shadows of the tree limbs, they add mystic to the photo.  Looks like someone might have started to fix it up, and gave up.  There's a story here.  Really great photo.  Love it. |

		| I think tha5t the light ing that was used was used very nicely. I think that by focusing in more on the window and creating more focus on that would have created much more intrest to your picture. Nice Work |

		| I like how you used the old window. Dont use the top of the house because it is more of a triangle than a square. |

		| Whooo, not a square!  I'm sure everyone has commented on this.  I really love the composition of your photo, and I always enjoy photos of decaying buildings.  The shadows from the winter-bare tree really add to the sense of despair in this shot.  It's a lovely shot, but I fear you are not going to fare well because of the rectangle issue... |

		| It's nice but I think the pic is over exposed... no expert and would like to see other opinions on this.. Just my gut feeling. |
