This is an old abandoned house in the back-woods of Waikato, New Zealand. The truck is in surprisingly good order, and I believe still starts!

I like the post processing - gives it an old time feel - Wish the truck wasn't cut off. Be interested in knowing the post processing.

Nice composition, especially with the old truck in there.
A little tilted (level the roof lines) and perhaps a slightly smaller (and black) border would look a little better in my opinion.

With the truck there, it doesn't really look abandoned, but merely run down.

I cropped left almost to that window. Then I cropped down to below where the the whitish over hang is attached to the structure leaving only about 4 boards above the side window. Doing that emphasizes the separation of the floor from the ground, and focuses on the truck's relationship to the building.

Congrats on a "creative look" at the typical wooden house!!!

This has the feeling of a model. But I like it. The roof is just a little bright to fit in with the rest of the composition.

Great feeling of an old photo from the depression era. Color great and soft appearance adds to old look. Well done.

The soft-focus quality (that sense of the spreading of the highlights) is well executed, although not to my taste. I'm seriously unsure about your cropping - so tight to the building leaves it no room to 'breathe' compositionally, and the cutting in half of the truck is simply a shame. There are details in the side of that building that are excellently caught, but that composition remains a problem for me: your audience's eye, it should alwas be remembered, will drift out of frame as soon as you give them a chance - placing elements of your primary subject that close to the edge is an open invitation. Nevertheless, there's enough good stuff here to put you in the upper half of the scores from me.

Very nice! I love it, the truck adds a very nice touch as well, coloring is perfect, as well as the coposition, border even works well here. Nicely done! 10

I like the multiple expansions of this house. Looks like at least two additions. I would have moved out a bit and shown more on the right hand side of the house. It kind of looks like the house is "crammed" into the framing of the picture. A little space would have helped.
