This house is also up the 'road' (more of a mud track) from me. Crisp morning, as we've had a cold snap here lately. Strange to think that a family of nine used to live in there... I really liked the way the colour came out though.

Anyhoo - always learning ;)

Very, very hard to make out due to the dark area on the left side, and the house, ground and grass all being pretty much the same color.

The color looks good, but the picture seems very busy. My eyes weren't sure where to focus.

Could be a good picture but the shadows are VERY distracting... hard to make out what you were trying to take a picture of...

Between the light the tree and the shadow it makes it difficult to see the building. A different angle or different light would be better
04/15/2005 10:42:57 PM
colors and light seem too strong and vibrant.
04/15/2005 03:07:06 PM
Colors are a little to saturated and light a little to harsh.

Lots of distracting shadows ..... I don't see what you wanted to show us ....

I love the warm colors, but I have to admit it took me a sec for my eyes to adjust to see the rest of the building. I like the "through the trees" feel this picture has, like its as if is was stumbled upon while walking through the woods.

there is alot going on in this image to clearly focus on the structure itself, focus is a bit in spots, but clearly charlie needs a new home

I think the unnatural colors greatly detract from what could have been a really neat picture. The shadows on the wall are great.

i feel like the colors and the branches is just a little too much...my first reaction when i opened it was that i didn't know what i was lookinb at.

To me this would suggest ruins not abandoned. also find that because of the sun the colors all look yellow which I find very distracting as it puts a blurrish hue onto the photo. Perhaps a different time of day would have made for a better photo. Good luck in this challenge.

Colors seem a little odd.
04/13/2005 09:31:04 PM
the first thing i noticed with this was the over saturation of yellow, not to my liking. and the branch in the foreground is a bit distracting.

I guess I am distracted by the foliage. The color is surreal. I keep thinking there should be more details in the shadows that would make this a better image for this challenge
