I really like the colour of this shot. The dark clouds on the left really bring attention to the building on the right. Many people commented on the horizon - remember you can fix this in your graphics software normally if you get it wrong on location (I know because I normalluy get it wrong slightly). Well done.

More dereliction or destruction than desolation, but it's a good crisply lit shot. Image is too skewed ant-clockwise and could do with straightening (see water line). [5]

Nice colors and the sky makes this shot very effective. Good luck

your horizon is slanting to the left

Firstly, I would have liked to see a straighter image. Secondly, more of the house in shambles! And maybe in black and white. I do not feel the backdrop of the sea and wonky horizon to be interesting enough [compared to house] to include in the image. Well done, Good try =)

You missed the horizon, I think proper rotation would give you +1 in the final avg.

Very nice! One suggestion would be to straighten the horizon line, it might improve the picture some :) I love the textures/colours of the wood and the old house (barn?), and the clouds. ~8

I like the light in the foreground because it makes me almost feel the approaching storm. The light has an eerie yellow cast that I remember from a tornado many years ago.

Nice lighting and colours, shame about the slanting horizon.
