Classic Old House

really neat shot Don, very well composed. The juxtaposition between the naked trees on the left and the evergreens on the right really adds something to it, and the sky is awesome.

Don,

I have not been on line for a while, thus have not seen your pictures. This is very different for your usual style. The subject matter, the processing, the colors. Not sure what it is about this subject that caught your eye, but it works for you.

Nice job!

This is very nice Don, pity its not a slightly larger image

Nice composition, Don. Got good color in the sky too.

Very nice composition and tonal range...I like it.

Great shot Don. It flows really nice. Not over/under processed, great comp and tonal like Rob said. Just as the eye would see it. Nicely done.

Thanks guys

Wow Don, what an amazing looking place, would make (based on surroundings) a nice high-end hotel? Great composition.

while it does look like a a nice high-end hotel, I could also see the perfect setting for a horror movie....maybe just my dark side coming out....

I agree. I don't know if it has ever been used in a movie.

I think this is probably the picture I like the best of any picture you have posted, great shot, Jeff

Well it's not a scene of misery at least. lol. Thanks Grandpaw.

Do you think it has more than one bathroom?

Looks like a great time of year for photographing that house. I learned in the forest that winter provides views and vistas not available the rest of the year when all the leaves are on.

The dormant season really lets the lines of this old building show nicely.

:)

Don, one of the best I've seen from you here. Love the lighting. Whats also great is the way the trees frame in the wonderful old house, and as Dubbs5050 stated about the bare trees on the left and full evergreens on the other side. The sky with the streaks of cloud formations is perfect here.
I only wish there were a bit more to the bottom. Is this cropped off?
Very nice, Don.

Hey Don, I was sitting here admiring your shot again. I am wondering what it would look like under a full moon at night with a long exposure??

I would like to add that the colors, trees,house, and angle that you took this at are really nice. I much prefer an angled as apposed to straight on shots. I think you need to get off the bus every chance you can, this is a great shot, Jeff

Congrats, Don

Congrats on the sticky, man!

Congratulations, Don.

Outstanding, simply outstanding.

Nice shot Don. Could be a painting on a wall.

Congrats!! Beautiful old house and you caught the sun and the angle just right.

That's awesome Don....great job.

Bears uncanny to the Marsten house in Salem's lot. Would not be caught, uh, dead there at night.

Also brings to mind George C. Scott's pad in The Changeling.

Creepy-looking place. But a wonderfully-evocative image.

Congrats on the Sticky.

Congrats on the featured photo.

It reminds me of the jigsaw puzzles I did as a child. It seems the scenes often looked something like this. The composition is great on this one and the way the scene is lit throughout is perfect.

Congrats Don!!, Well deserved.

Congrats on feature Don

First, congratulations. The pic gives a feeling of relief in a cold morning.
yoyo

Congratulations on the feature Don, well done.

I am honored! Thanks for your kind comments. Onward and upward with the arts!
