Wow beautiful shot! This is so nice, i love how you took it so closley and caught the vines wrapping around this building, i aslo like how you caught it up so close that you can see the texture in the windows and walls, nice shot
The dots on the curtain cause me to feel that there is still some live left, yet all the other signs say no. I like the effect of the dark foliage vs the dotted curtain. Nice and uncomplicated composition. 8
Nice composition. Just a tad too dark and soft focus to see much detail, espcially in the foreground leaves. Curtains in the window makes me questain if this building abandoned. No other features to show me this. Perhaps if done in color more detail would show up. I like the photo.
Great composition. Your choice for making it a B&W was a wise one.
I can only assume from the title, the Ivy is what "swallowed" this building.
Well Done!
Beautiful picture, a very nice atmospere and the B&W is perfection, but...and there's always a but...this doesn't seem abandoned to me, especially with the charming polkadot curtains...I know a few people who live in houses much like what is depicted here. To me this appears more charming and inviting rather than abandoned.
I once had a great teacher that said, "Never use color unless it enhances the image". I think color would have enhanced this image. It's a beautiful shot, but I'm sure color would have helped seperate the leaves from the wood. I'm dying to see the warmth of those logs and wooden siding, and the cool textures in the ivy. <7>
