...from Critique Club...

Hi Tracy :)

FIRST IMPRESSION:
Really nice contrast!

COMPOSITION:
I like the way you tried to get some of the sky to contrast with the house....but I really wish there was more sky. The fact that you cut off the tip of the house, IMO, takes from the beauty of the photo. I would even try to get the entire chimney in as well. Other than that, I think the angle you shot it at is very interesting :|

TECHNICAL:
Nice and sharp photo. Maybe a bit over exposed. Sky looks very deep and real. :)

ARTISTIC:
I think it's worth going back and shooting some more, as this house looks really neat (you probably did take more shots). I think closing in on the windows would have been better for this challenge. :|

OVERALL:
A nice a sharp photo that would have done better with a diff comp.

Cheers and good luck in the future challenges.

old things are beautiful, love the shadows too.

the shadows on the house from the tree branches add to the feeling of a place unkempt. nice eye.

A good idea. The crackle of branch shadows add to the psychological depth of your image. As my choice I would like to wave a magic wand and get closer to eliminate the sky and chimney as the story is told by the windows themselves. Only a suggestion to your worthy moment of inspiration.

Ahhhhh. The beauty of the old buildings. I love it. I'm so glad you did it in color also. That beautiful blue sky against the rool line is georgeous. I love the shadows of the tree limbs, they add mystic to the photo. Looks like someone might have started to fix it up, and gave up. There's a story here. Really great photo. Love it.

I love the shadows in this photo. They move your eyes along the house.

Photograph looks cool but I don't think it is very original.

Not pleasent to look at. But only because you captured the "despair" so well.

I think tha5t the light ing that was used was used very nicely. I think that by focusing in more on the window and creating more focus on that would have created much more intrest to your picture. Nice Work

I like how you used the old window. Dont use the top of the house because it is more of a triangle than a square.

Cute title, great shadows, light.

noise in the sky. I like the shadows of the branchs, and the vantage point you used.

Whooo, not a square! I'm sure everyone has commented on this. I really love the composition of your photo, and I always enjoy photos of decaying buildings. The shadows from the winter-bare tree really add to the sense of despair in this shot. It's a lovely shot, but I fear you are not going to fare well because of the rectangle issue...

It's nice but I think the pic is over exposed... no expert and would like to see other opinions on this.. Just my gut feeling.
