Interesting old building and nice ground colours, it's a pity the sky was so grey. Maybe dropping the viewpoint down a bit and moving in closer would have given more of the building and foreground whilst reducing the amount of sky in shot?

Love the overgrown road, and growth on the roof. Looks like it is out in the middle of nowhere.

A decent shot, not sure I see much else to this.

I like the composition (except unfortunately the wire). Maybe a slightly different angle or crop would have bumped it up for me.

This reminds me of Newfoundland with the fog and old abandoned building.

Interesting on the effect.

I like the contrast between the colors and the fog's grayness.

reminds me of Nova Scotia, Canada, my second home, I love fog pictures, nicely done
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 04:05:07 AM
Just wondering if here's a story behind. The fog gives this a special atmosphere.

Good play on words. A lot of character in this old school, very nice! 7

Nice mist in the background, gives an aged feeling to your shot.

wow, this is beautiful

good capture of details, missing something here to make this shot really interesting, maybe adding a human element would have made this more interesting. You could have cloned away the line in the right portion of the image (this should be allowed in advance editing) ,6

I like how the background fades into the mist

nice image conveys a lot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:20:38 PM
LOL! The roof matches the flowers :-) I really like the detail on the ground and the structure, but the foggy sky is not so interesting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:23:53 PM
wait to a clear day with soft clouds
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Got to love those fog shots :)

Nice capture

I think you have a great object there. Maybe the house would be really scary in B&W, but i'm not sure. I like your idea, but the composition doesn't justify it in my opinion.
Sorry if i was rude. Good luck!

 03/12/2009 08:22:49 AM
Great location. A lower POV may have made it more interesting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 06:42:51 PM
Seems a bit drab. I think a different angle may have done this photo a little more justice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I really like the peace and solitude that this photo offers.

I don't think the fog adds much to this photograph.

I like this shot. the wire on the right could have been cloned out, but otherwise, nice peaceful shot.
