Thanks for your constructive criticism and compliments. This was a few moments after a torrential downpour, and the white specks are actually ice pellets/mini hail, I can now see why others thought it was overprocessed and looked speckled. The building was actually constructed like that, I didn't add two pictures together. I had thought about cropping the light pole but was afraid it would be seen as removing a major element and I didn't want a disqualification.

Nice shot but looks overprocessed IMO

the middle of the house wall looks like you cropped two together, or else its a strange angle. The colours could be brightter, esp red.

Something so charming and sad about the thoughts that this image invokes. The colors are well treated to enhance the age. 7

Love the colors captured here. Nice job on the post-processing and the sky really enhances this image. Well seen.

Personally I would have gotten a little closer and tried to show more house with better detail on the roof. In this shot I find its the stuff growing on the roof that makes this photo interesting. I'm also not fond of the grey border on this photo and think it would have looked better black. Good luck in this chalenge.

Nice picture. I would have cropped it the sky and the right tighter. My focus seems to wonder into the brightness of the clouds and away from the building.

Like the muted colors of the building and sky. You might try cropping the power pole and some of the foreground dirt out. It is a little distracting from the subject, the abandoned building. Nice photograph.

At first glance I thought this looked pretty cool. I love the clouds and the brush growing out of the roof. Then image starts to "sparkle" at me. I don't know if it is too much sharpening, or some other process, but there are white specks all over the ground, and roof which are distracting.

The greens in this image really make the photo.

This is very nice, though I feel it could use a bit more contrast. 7

Strange colors, but really nice...amazing to see the grass or moss on the roof..
