 I have a small obsession with abandoned buildings and such and this little farm house near my home has always intrigued me. So I took a few snap shots one late evening as the sun was setting.

Sepia-like tone gives a good feeling here.

feel that the contrast is a bit too high....

nice shot but a little bit too contrasty. The border is a bit distracting at the top

Interesting subject and it certainly is desolate, but the huge tree competes with the building too much. Maybe a wider shot would be better, or from another angle

The tree and house loom over the entrance to create a feeling of foreboding in addition to a sense of abandonment. The sliver of light to the left is a little distracting, but I like this a lot. 9

Very, very nice. I like the tree in the scene, it adds age and interest. Well done.

I like all the textures in this photo. It makes it really interesting to look at.

nice shot.. nice use of the tree and its texture

Nice contrast on the tree. I would have moved right a little more to see if I could pick up the relief on the brick work as well.

Good shot. This is much beter then many other empty houses in this challenge. I uess because you didnb't try to capture the whole house but composed it with useful environment. That always works.
