Thanks to all who commented and voted, my first real top 10, w/o being dq'd.
This is my 10 year old son, kids can be so versitile. :) Oh yeah, and if you notice the boards at the top are strait and it became more crooked as they go down, that was a little annoying.

Libby - I'm really glad this did as well as it did. It was a good take on the theme and I wondered whether people would not take the time to really look at it and enjoy it.
This is a great modern take on the "Gibson Girl" series in the late 1800s through about 1924. There is just something "Victorian" about this that I really like.
very nice photo. great composition. i feel like i'm standing in sand at the beach looking at an old dilapidated and deserted beach house and seeing a glimpse into the past. i love how the girl in the photo has no idea anyone is looking at her. feels like she is watching the ocean and waiting for her long lost love to return in one of the big ships. her face and eyes make me feel like the weather across the ocean is turning bad... maybe dark clouds are rolling in and she is growing worried.
I like the processing you have done here, I am not sure why, it reminds me of something. Almost an old world feel to it. I can not put my finger on it, but you have made me think and look at your shot longer than any others, so well done
Ahh yes, finally, a good one. This is super. It definitely works for this challenge. I'm voting 10 on this but I have one nitpick and you probably already know what it is. That last board at the bottom right shouldn't be there. Just a slight crop to remove it would have garnered you an 11 from me. ;\ But upon looking at it again it may make the photo look tilted. hmmm
Oh, I love this one! Great idea! Great execution. The grungy old building really turns this from ordinary to extraordinary. My highest rated photo so far! Good luck!
