		| | Works well for this challenge, though were it advanced, I'd have toned down the noise in the sky just a bit.  I do like the yellow tint - adds to the "aged" appearance of the shot overall.  Quite a lovely old structure despite it's somewhat rundown appearance, isn't it? |

		| | I agree with Julianne, maybe tone down a little bit the yellow? the noise works perfectly here though, and a very nice angle you chose, it really helps to create depth. |

		| | Bob, I wondered if this one was yours when I was voting - I am starting to recognize your style. I really like the sepia/yellow toning on it, and think it was an excellent choice for this challenge. I would like to see a little more negative space in the sky, but realize a different crop might be impossible given the location. Good entry! And look at that score from your commenters!

		| | When my husband sees a house like that he always says "Has my name on it. Slap on a little paint and move right in." The grain really adds to the run-down condition of the old house. I gave it a 7 because I didn't like the yellow tone. It was a little too strong, and didn't seem right on the roof. |

		| | grain gives aged feel.  not too sure about hue used but toning works.  I'm just waiting for something to happen.  There is tension here - you know, it might be due tot he use of yellow.  gotta think on this one a while. |

		| | Yes, it does.  I wish I had the $$$ to buy and restore something like this!  Good choice for this challenge. |

		| | I can't believe I'm about to say this but, the color noise actually looks good here.  I didn't know it could be done! |

		| | Nice use of yellows...prolly not what you were going for, but it makes the house look very eerie. |

		| | IMO I think that the tree and the bush is a bit distracting, good pic though I like the house. |
