Nice colors, but I wish the house was closer so I could make out more detail - can't really tell if it's abandoned or not.

A liitle dark, you should have lightend it up with a little contrast. Nice photo though 5

I think it would have been a bit better without the tree on the right.

Pleasant, but not the most effective composition or coloring. Too square on - I might have moved several feet (yards?) to the right, and angled it so the building line wouldn't be right along the horizon.

I think this is an interesting building. I wish you would have moved in on it. This turned out to be more of a landscape picture instead of a building picture. Nicely done though

Maybe the main focus of this shot is too distant?

Somehow the negative space in this photo doesn't work for me. I think part of it is that everything is a little bit too dark. You might consider using curves or levels in Photoshop to make everything lighter: certainly the subject, probably the sky, possibly the grass. I see the subject is placed neatly on the rule of thirds. It's a safe choice, but I tend to think that it's a little small to fill that space. I'd have been tempted to move it toward the corner by cropping off the tree on the right and an equal amount of grass - but I tend to crop more closely than the DPC group as a whole.

I like the bare tree and its relation to the house, and I think if you'd have been able to get closer or to use a longer lens, a shot with just the house, the tree, and the grass would have been better.

your building is a little dark to see what it is represinting in the challenge which is a shame as the image is good, would have cropped the tree out at the top right as it looks unbalanced.

not much detail on the subject itself, but a nice image

I would have liked it a little lighter in order to see some details of the building.

Unfortunatetly, all I can see here is sky, grass, and an out of focus, too dark , too small building. The tree limbs in the upper right corner should be cropped out. The angle seems ok, but a closer, tighter, lighter shot would have scored much higher from me.

The image is very dark on my monitor, so it makes it difficult to make take in the image.

Needs a tad more crispness and clarity, and the tree on the upper right is distracting. Maybe this shot at a different angle and a tad closer?

The colors are very nice. It's kind of hard to tell that the house is abandoned as it is so small compared to the rest of the picture. I think taking a closer shot would have been nice - you could see the decay of abandonment.

Nice, simple shot. I like how the dead tree hovers over the building. The sky is dark and forboding, but lacks contrast. Also, the building is a bit too dark for its own good.

Average shot, I'd say.
