I was obscenely happy when I saw this challenge, because there are four or five old abandoned houses/storefronts within a couple of blocks of my house. I'm the only one who thinks they give the area personality.

A couple observation on this image.
A good part of the white "plaster" seems to be washed out, and the right tilt of the roof line and wall is a bit distracting. The balck border is competing with the gutter area, and may have been better in white with a 1 pixel line on the inside edge of the white.
Take a look in my portfolio for examples of this type of border if you care to. I use it a lot and often gives an image an actual photograph look to it.

Might be more effective if the photo had been straightened.

good shaped and texture

I don't know what to focus on in this picture. Most of my attention is drawn to uper right corner by the roof line.

The picture seems to slope, though it could be the building.

The frame emphasizes the crookedness ot the eaves line. Could use more contrast, color balance, or saturation (not sure - I'm too new at this.)

Looks like you ran into the same problem I did - what line to square the image up by when the whole building is caddywhompus? I like this picture, a lot. However, the roof line not levelling with the frame is distracting to me. I'd like to see greater saturation, too!

The picture is a little too washed out.

nice idea, just not quite straight in the frame which is a little distracting.
