Lovely shot with an air of loneliness.
03/17/2009 11:38:07 AM
It looks so lonely, the green looks great.
03/17/2009 10:50:27 AM
love the rich colors.
03/17/2009 10:31:01 AM
Hmm... I think the long exposure(?) and blurred sky has won me over on this one
03/17/2009 06:49:16 AM
Nice image with lots of mood.
03/17/2009 06:04:00 AM
this is simple but I dont like the post processing or maybe the blur is caused by longer exposure anyway its just four from me sorry
good luck though and take care ;D

Great colors, interesting effect on the sky.
03/15/2009 08:36:42 PM
Great color in the wood and the sky.
03/15/2009 01:37:59 PM
love teh mood and isolation
03/15/2009 12:43:04 PM
Love the colors and shapes. Simple and elegant.
03/15/2009 10:12:15 AM
I really like the clouds, nice.
03/15/2009 09:35:15 AM
I like this. Very sharp.
03/15/2009 07:05:19 AM
would have liked a little more punch in the colors to appeal to me more, 6
03/14/2009 11:19:49 PM
could have been a nice pic! The blue thing on the left averts my eyes from the house which i presume is the subject given the title and I keep looking at the sky around the house instad of AT the house itself.

Shame.
03/14/2009 08:00:25 PM
A lean one two three four. Love this - make me wonder who lived here, and what their lives were like.
03/14/2009 07:21:58 PM
OK. I was there one time.
03/14/2009 05:35:56 PM
I love the shack and the lighting, but there are two odd patches in the sky.
03/14/2009 03:28:19 PM
Nice simple shot. good colors.
03/14/2009 01:17:49 PM
Beautiful colors
03/13/2009 11:44:42 PM
the sky looks like it emanating out of the roof - very effective - great colors!
03/13/2009 06:31:31 PM
interesting sky
03/13/2009 04:47:32 PM
Nice simplistic study, very forlorn. 8
03/13/2009 04:33:24 PM
Nice building separated from the background well
03/13/2009 04:30:02 PM
Nice soft colours, and tones in the sky.
03/13/2009 03:25:28 PM
Neat colors and a great composition. Makes me want to know more.
03/13/2009 01:29:34 AM
The colors in the sky are different, kind of distracting from the neat old house
03/12/2009 08:50:38 PM
I like how everything is slightly off kilter in this. Nice colors.
03/12/2009 08:00:52 PM
nice find, cool sky, I like the color of the sky against the green grass
03/12/2009 07:48:25 PM
Nice job capturing the weathered detail here.
03/12/2009 06:32:52 PM
simple yet refined....
03/12/2009 04:32:26 PM
It looks like it would make a great studio - lovely old building :)
03/12/2009 04:05:40 PM
This brings me back to childhood. I love this. The sky is beautiful also!
03/12/2009 02:59:37 PM
the sky looks...processed.
03/12/2009 02:32:49 PM
I really like the sky!
03/12/2009 12:24:14 PM
The subject is a little too prominent in the frame. I'd like to have seen a little more breathing space for it.
03/12/2009 06:11:24 AM
I like the halo effect around the house adds to the drama
03/12/2009 04:06:13 AM
love the colors
03/12/2009 02:09:13 AM
Oh the lone barn, nice capture.
03/12/2009 12:10:10 AM
Good clean image, great subject, but lacks a little 'va va boom!'
03/11/2009 11:44:49 PM
Nice - simple but effective 8
03/11/2009 07:46:34 PM
I think leveling the picture according to the horizon would have helped. The house has a lean to it anyways so why not go with it?
Love the sky and the colors you captured. The reds are a bit oversaturated however. Overall a pretty solid image.
03/11/2009 05:15:12 PM
Did you do that with the clouds or was it just a longer exposure maybe? Nice effect either way. I like it.
03/11/2009 04:44:20 PM
great composition, nice shot
03/11/2009 04:39:56 PM
Its nice but lacking detail on the house. Sky is a little bland to. I do love the composition tho and the story.
03/11/2009 03:05:04 PM
This is difficult for me to click away from, it holds my attention in a way I can't explain. Looks like the open prairie near the Canada/US border. Love the dried-up old wood, the juicy green grass, the breezy sky.
03/11/2009 02:23:58 PM
Nice old building with a remarkable sky.
03/11/2009 12:01:22 PM
Simple and sweet. Nice feeling of isolation.
03/11/2009 10:28:23 AM
Good processing. A little heavy on the halo around the house.
03/11/2009 09:31:11 AM
Wonderful color tones. Love the processing.
03/11/2009 08:45:40 AM
Nice colors and tones. Processing seems a bit harsh/overdone - wide halo around building and the sky looks very uneven.
03/11/2009 03:42:39 AM
Not bad, but the sky is a little spotty and unnatural. I like the house.
03/11/2009 02:32:19 AM
These are always great IMO and benefit from even more PP than you've applied. I'd have tried a greater wide angle, then gone for the HDR effect.
