Wow. I like the color, the contrast and the layout. Reminds me of a part of a movie where someone's on a bad trip or something. Hope thats ok. Just the first thing that came to my mind... Very nice job though.

GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB!

Alecia, I don't know what to make of this; you scored very well, placing in the top 25 of a challenge with many excellent images, so clearly the majority of voters approve of what you've done here. However, I'm not nearly as positive about this, myself.

I will grant you that you have an eerie, striking, memorable image. It's breaking a lot of "rules", but I can only presume you're aware of that and did it intentionally, and you're to be applauded for following your own instincts and aesthetics here.

So I'm not even going to attempt to discuss areas of potential "improvement", because they'd involve MY concept of what YOUR image ought to look like, and that's probably of no interest to you. If I'm wrong on that, drop me a PM telling me to have at it, or better yet mail me a color jpg of this, and we might develop an interesting dialogue. It's up to you :-)

Regardless, it IS a memorable image and one that makes me look at it closely, so it's all good in the end :-)

"Gothic Glow?!?"
I'm not familiar with either the term or the effect. But I love the look!
Pray tell, what and how did you do it?

Thanks.

I think this is my favorite of the challenge. It's simple, I like the composition and I love the sepia tones of it. Well done!

Nice photo, the crop is tight, but after looking at the photo for a while, I quite like it

Beautiful picture. Love the coloring you've used. The one thing that bothers me is how the tree and shack are about even in depth/distance from camera. Gives it a flat feel.

I like the tones and mood of this picture, just find the white foreground a bit excessive. Perhaps a bit less white foreground and more sky would help? Otherwise, well done.

The shack is a little tight to edge of frame for me, but still really nice.

I like this monotone, and it really suits the challenge.....

I like the post processing. Nicely composted, but the crop is a tad tight. I'd like to see more negative space to the left of the old house.
