I love the weathered wood but find the shadow at the top too dark.

Excellent technical photo. Great colors. I think old very easily with this one.

not an interesting angle (head on), but contains many old elements - flaking paint, broken windows, midding doorknob, askew boards.

I like the aged look of the house but for me there is no clear focal point. My eyes shift between the broken window and the boarded up door. To further complicate things the horizontal elements of the electricity meter (?) and the wooden supports lie right in the middle of the frame adding more separation to the two possible subjects. Focusing on one element (door or window) and maybe composing the supports off to one side would have worked better for me. This would probably look good in B&W too.

nice lighting

One of the few house shots that I liked. I very much like the coloring and lighting. The cropping is great. The green weeds really bring out the weatheredness of the structure. Great work - 9

This is definitely a decent example of 'old' :) The weeds in the foreground of the image seem to work out ok as an enhancement to the 'rural' mood of the photo. The overall image seems a little 'flat' and lacking depth... I wonder if there would have been a different angle for this shot that would give a better three dimensional feel to the image? - jmsetzler

I like that you cropped it down and didn't succumb to the temptation to show the whole building. :-) 7

I would crop this so the porch support is not almost dead center.

Could Bob Vella do anything with this? 6

What a lovely tonal quality this has. Great subject and lovely low late afternoon lighting. Good subject and good technicals. It would have been possible to push the colour and contrast up a little further on this but Im glad you didn't.

Great use of shadows and colors to bring out the age of the house. 10

I love this photo. Very nice framing, and gentle shadows, soft enough light to bring out all the textures and colours. A 10 from me - lisae
