I really get a feeling of dread when I look at this shot. You've really captured a great mood here. I'm drawn into this shot as if I was standing there debating on if I should approach this house or not. I like how the tree in the foreground is lacking detail forcing my eye back to "The Mansion" where it belongs. The dramatic sky finishes off this wonderful shot by helping in creating the atmosphere of enter at your own risk.

10 from me and a fav.

House appears to be tilted but that can be righted pretty easy. I like the moodiness of the dark, bleak landscape.

The potential here is lost due to the shot not being straighten during post processing.

Nice placement of the sun peeking through the deck, and framing by the tree. Cool shot!

I really like the tilt of the house in this, it's very effective in making it look scary!

Or the Bates hotel.
Looks like the cover to a scary book.
Nice job creating a emotional response.

Nice details, but a bit too dark for my taste. Good picture all the same.

Very creepy. Nice colors and angle. I think the only thing I don't like is the sun shining through on lower right roof. Otherwise, nice job.
