Challenge: Abandoned Buildings (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Location: Hamden, CT

Aperture: f5.6

 This abandoned barn is being torn down to make way for an assisted living facility. This was my 2nd shot of 80+, which probably says something about the futility of overshooting. It was captured in RAW mode with a Digital Rebel and Sigma 18-125 lens. USM and crop with PS.

I don't enter these often enough.

A number of posters (all appreciated) mentioned some softness in the window frame focus. I thought it was the milky color of the faded whitewash, but now that I've looked again, they're correct.

Great photo

Cooool...I can't think of much else to say, I just like this shot a lot. It has a very 3-D feel to it, and looks almost as though the wall with window were superimposed over another image. I guess I could think of more to say. Huh, what do you know.

This would be a stronger image if the focus was right. Depth of field???

Very nice! I love the flattening affect you've got here. One of my favorites in the challenge.

Very interesting point of view. Sharp, light is nice and contrast is good. Effective composition.

Very nice shot. A little bit soft focus on the front of the building.

Luckily (or well-planned on your part), the angles just inside the window frame keep the image from feeling too centered. It's a lovely picture.

Nice artistic interpretation on this challenge.
There is beauty in what society calls an eyesore.
Well Done!

Nice composition. Love the texture of raw wood versus peeling paint.

I like the idea of looking in throught the window, but the subject in the window isn't that interesting (at least to me). I think the red texture on the wall is great though. I think making that the focus would make for a more interesting pic.

good strong shapes.

The angles and through the window view appeal to me...the old paint seems to add a nice touch too..but it's the geometry with light and shadow, that make it appear to be a painting on a red wall..back for another look, I like this a lot...9

Like the perspective used to show an abandoned building. Nice colors. Good dof.

There are things that I really about the image and then there are things that make me wonder why. I like old paint and texture. I like the framing. But I can't quite make out how you have tried to focus on this one. And also I am trying to figure out if you did that on purpose, I mean focussing on the 'wall' rather than the window frame.

Nice framing of an abandoned place. Clever title. The colors seem washed out.

Would have made for an excellent photo for the windows challenge but for abandonded building I find it lacks interest/subject. I also find the focus/clarity to be a little OoF as well. A border on this photo could have done well as it would have made the photo stand out more. Good luck in this challenge.
