I think you were robbed on this. This shot held my attention for a long time. There's a lot going in in it and I really like it. I gave you a 10.

Thanks for a very good vote Steve, and I agree with everything you said. The jaggies in the trees were very troublesome to me, but in the end there was nothing I could do about them. I normally don't shoot other peoples property so I was a bit nervous that someone would say something. I ended up taking about 12 shots total and wasn't happy with any of them in the series. I truly expected this entry to do worse than it did so ending up at 5.4+ was a nice surprise. My hope was that the subject matter and processing would carry it despite the imperfections and to that end I think it probably did.

It did well enough to take over 4th place on my profile page so I am thankful for the votes that got it that far. :)

This is supurb. The processing really makes this image. It really jumps out.9

I feel cold just looking at this. I'll take the trailer. At least I can move that to a warmer climate.

Though I like the processing, and the decay is evident, this has an almost suburban quality to it.....5

Almost look like a tent offering another option out back. That house is in really bad shape!
