I like the graininess of your shot - it adds to the feel. Also, the way the sky reflects the overgrown grass is amazing. This is a wonderful shot.

I like the color, it looks very spooky, but it seems a little dark overall

After seeing so much BW and sepia shot, maybe it's just me, but I think it doesn't work here. Too much sky and cloud wich are uninteresting in sepia IMO. Building too much blocked up by trees.

Though this image I suspect could have been very strong, the toning killed it.

I wanna see how this is processed. I'm not sure I like, but am intrigued by the effect.

The deep sepia tones obsure the detail and detract from the overall image. That's just my opinion and here is the only place it counts. It makes me work to determine the subject and feel of the image and that gives a veiwer an inclination to make a snap judgement and go onto the next image without rating it on its other merits, which I have resisted. It is a beautiful sky, but too much of it. By cropping down to just above the house, so the image is then verticle, the veiwer is then drawn into the subject and it becomes the focus of attention. Tthen_even the deep sepia is not such a deterence.

I don't think Sepia works very well here. Abandoned Building is almost completely obscurred by trees. Too much negative space, not enough subject.

Good idea, but the whole shot reads too dark. Great sky, but it dominates the house which is the main subject.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very nice photo. It's too bad there is too much tree in the front. I think this would be a great shot if a little more of the house could be seen. I like your choice of color for this.

Would like to see this shot a tad bit lighter, but all around I think it's a magnificent photo, nice subject matter

very good image, i love the way the clouds look in this, very nice angle also to get the grass, house, and clouds in it
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I think maybe a little less sky and a closer shot of the building would score slightly better.

Haunting image, but a bit too yellow for my taste.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

It's a great shot, but its a bit noisy and trees are disturbing too much:(
  Photographer found comment helpful.

A closer crop would work well. Great subject.

Very spooky, but the color is what I don't like. Not sharp enough. Good use of the sky as well.

Love the spooky feeling of this photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/13/2005 01:50:57 AM
is that noise right above the house, in the sky, ?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
