This picture makes me feel empty--and that's perfect! tsheets explained it very well. Looks like my grandparents farmhouse when I go look in there now. There's nothing there, but perhaps the distant echoes of days gone by.

I see abandonment, desolation, first. Then, I wonder about who used to live there, and what memories were made there. Were they abandoned as well?

craftsmanship from days gone by. The moldings, the doors, locks...and of course the closet, very narrow door and I bet it isnt very big because people didnt have that many clothes in the days that this was built, probably around the early 1900s. Wish I could see the floor clearer. Evokes envy, and sadness that it is no longer wanted.

I like the tones and the mood though I feel it would be better if the center door was closed and out of the way.

This is exquisite, Dustin! I love the tonal range, the composition, the emotive nature of the shot...wow. Glad to see you posting again, too!!! Congrats and good luck on the juried competition. You should do well, because your work is always top-notch. This one really grabs me. My first reaction is the loneliness of the room, but the open doors and window light show hope that there is something more out there. It's going in my faves right now! :)

I find this to be a simple and evocative composition that does show very nice lighting. I like the aged, abandoned look, and the open doorways evoke a sense of adventure. There are questions being asked by that single closed door at the end, and I appreciate the image all the more because of it.
