Don't you wonder what secrets these walls hold? The old school house is boarded up now after being the central meeting place for generations of families in Red Canyon. The walls are crumbling. The metal covering the wooden doorway is rusted through. The gravel road in front of the school house leads through ranchland in the canyon to Red Canyon Park.

too much dark on left side. Crop closer to cement. Would also put more emphasis on the door.

this is filled with lines, textures, colors, shadows for the eye to wander...the only small question would be whether a tighter crop at the top would have "cleaned" the overall design up...very nice

I think the steps detract from what could have been a very good subject

like the shadows on the stairs, good contrast, and like the overall feel of red and "rust"

The subject fits the challenge, but I think that the door is too high in the picture. I
would have either moved in closer. and lost some of the steps, or further away
so tha t the door could be more central. Just my opinion.

Very nice lighting and exposure. It feels a little off because the perspective tips everything to the right. Subject has appeal.

Like this entry. Would of liked to see the bottom cropped a bit tighter along with the left side to force the eye more on the door and stone wall. Nice work ..good luck.

lighting a bit harsh, might have looked softer early in the morning or late in the day
