For such a dreary scene, there is a lot of vibrancy to make this really interesting. Love it.

Rather spooky looking old place. I'm not sure I would want to spend the night there.

It apears a bit to soft for my taste. But it's quite brilliant anyway

Tight crop but a nice angle and well processed.

a fantastic location for shooting especially with the rich colors of the grasses, the foreboding sky above. I just feel that the choice of composition (tight on the house) does not let the scene breathe, created a closed in feel

Kind of makes me wonder about who lived there, why they left etc. I like it.

I like shots of run down buildings and this one has a lot going for it. The sky, the long colourful grass, the details on the structure itself.

The downside of this for me is the composition. I think it needs a bit more space, some context to set the building in, some more of the surroundings perhaps.

Looks like the rain treated you well on this day, looks good on the house.

Nice scene, good detail in the grasses but too dark and contrasty overall.

Wish the textures on the house were crisper, better lit.

I don't usually like the HDR and I don't always score it this high but I really like how you applied it on this subject...It really give the picture that dreamy old time feel
