 This would have been such a beautiful house, its massive and was part of an nursing home on my road. I'd love to get inside & get some pics, but its boarded up good & proper.

Shot this subject on three different occassions during the week, even at night, still not entirely happy with it. Used a Cokin T2 Grad, to darken down the sky, then whacked down the saturation in PS. I was going for an eerie look...not sure if it worked!

Brighter greens against a desat building would've improved this a bunch. Otherwise good, but a little flat, imo.

too much tree and the color looks washed out, might be better sepia instead of the dull green of the tree.

Interesting. Looks like sepia was somehow used while leaving the green in tritone maybe? Compositionally this is a little weak but the DOF and focus are good. The border works for this image. 6 for now but will pass again after seeing the others.

Nice shot. I like the composition, and the soft lighting and colors. The lack of sharp contrast here really fits. Good stuff.
