 Sharpened and reduced noise using Corel. Resized for web. Shot was taken at night. I saw the old barn with the light on with no foot prints in the snow and I tried to convey the mystery of the place.

I love the desaturated door and the snow leading up - great image. Makes you wonder

Nice. I wish the door would have been little more the the right in the frame to use the rule of thirds. The door also feels like it isn't in focus. The photo also has kind of a painting like quality, which is very nice.

Creepy door with a strange texture to it - too smooth, I'd have liked it better when it were rough.

I really like this. I'm sure you're hearing about the processing... but I think it fits the mood of the image. (not voting yet)
