Thanks for your comments. This really shows the limitations of the Fuji Finepix 3800. I couldn't get a good read to set the A/F, A/E due to the low light. It was just before 8 pm. Also I have no tripod...which is my next investment. Way to low of a shutter speed to hold by hand.

Image too soft. Nice scene which has a degree of desolation. Good composition and cloud formation. [4]

The building is not the main subject of this shot IMO. The grass is dominant. Focus seems a bit off IMO

Looks a bit fuzzy, nice composition, I really like the field in the foreground.

Beautifully composed. I would like it a little bit sharper but it's a very nice photograph.

would have been a much better photo if not for a focus mismatch somewhere...

The colors here are wonderful, and add to the overall feel of your picture! Great shot! :)

Blurry. May be BW would work better

the soft focus and the abundant grasses work against this image for me

i would be nice if we more of the building and a sharper image

good composition. I like the way the field occupies the bottom third of the image and the green landscape just adding enough seperation between the sky and the field. Only that its a bit out of focus.

Abandoned buildings do not desolation make

Would be better if a little sharper...even if you are going for the soft effect. Very nice setting though and certainly meets the challenge.

Looks a bit blurry, the building might be in better focus

I love this shot. The focus seems to be a bit soft though.

focus appears to be a bit soft to me.

I'd like to see the building a little closer I think and the whole shot could be more in focus. I like the level you have the grass/weeds at.

The building seems out of focus, unfortunately.
