It would be nie to see more detail in the sky, and not see the fence, but excellent use of BW 9

Sad to see structures deteriorate like this. You captured that feeling well. Good job.

Nice photo. It seems that the contrast is too much between the sky and the building.

About the kind of house I can afford.

Nice photo.

should have taken the photo in front of the fence

I like the caved in house and the grounds around it, but you got no sky. Personal opinion, I don't like that, I need sky. Otherwise, nice shot!
Photo 8 Creativity 7 B&W 7 total 7 (is there a point behind the blank sky, am I dumb or missing some point?)

Good choice of subjects for a b&w. The house is situated oddly within the frame IMO.

Sure does look old. I like the windmill.
06/04/2002 10:01:00 AM
God, one weak tornado and this place is history!

This is a great subject for black and white. I think my only criticism is that a different angle might have made more use of the windmill. I feel like I want to see its blades more clearly.

Nice; I would have moved back some to catch the desolation of the landscape
06/03/2002 10:56:00 PM
Good subject for b & w.
06/03/2002 09:28:00 PM
nice capture
06/03/2002 08:05:00 PM
Nice artistic shot.
06/03/2002 06:18:00 PM
only 57Kb utilised here - you need to grab as much quality as the 150Kb limit allows.
06/03/2002 05:29:00 PM
Neat b&w. I think the composition could of been better by leaving out the bottom of the windmill. I do like this shot. Good job.

The image seems slightly off-balance to me with the large amount of sky -- pushing half of the image. Nice subject for black and white, though.

If walls could talk....I would love to hear the stories this house could tell.
06/03/2002 08:57:00 AM
I don't remember giving permission for anyone to photograph my home for this challenge :)) God shot! Only improvement i see would be to allow a little more breathing room for the building on the left hand side of the frame... good work!
