This reminded me so much of this picture: [link]
It's feebleness feels like that of a spider web...

i would love to see a wide angle version of this photo ... it would compliment the house's twist.

I completly agree. Hopefully I will be able to buy a wide-angle lens here someday and go back out to this same location and re-shoot the house.

Beuatiful shot, the colours are wonderful, they're so subtle. The composition in this shot is very good, and I love thet house, it looks so old and abandoned, like nobody has been there for a 100 years. Very good work here. Definately a

I feel so lucky because I have a 'gold mine' of abandon houses like this about 30 miles from where I live, and I love hiking around snapping shots of them. Thanks for your kind words!

You're welcome mate. I'd love to explore abandoned places.. But unfortunately there aren't a lot of those around where I live, but I'm planning to go to the outskirts of a big city nearby and take a look around, I might find omething nice to photograph

I love this, I pass a house like this everyday, and say to myself, there is something so charming about this and I should photograph it. Maybe I will thanks.

Oh yes, you should!

Seems you never got to the edit but consider this.... the open frame left and right suggests the open plains... I'm for it and I swoon at old buildings about to fall down.. Fav!

Your're right that must be the reason I chose a kind of 'widescreen' effect with this because of the openness on both sides. Never thought of it that way before. Thanks!

The other thing is we are getting used to seeing that effect on our TVs... except I just got a wide screen and get to see it all again!

Nice one, at first look the rear of it looks like a shadow against a wall, or that just might be me,

I know what you mean, its just the way the sun is hitting the structure that throws that one wall into deep shadow. Thanks so much for the comment.

Yes...very haunting. I need to back out to this area and hunt down some more old buildings.

i love old buildings..i always see them the same as i do trees..there is always stories behind them

Yeah, you nailed it. When your're out there standing next to these old houses you can almost feel the lives that used to inhabit these places. Its really eerie..... in a good way.

it is eerie..i feel that way about trees and old buildings..i dont know why but you can just feel the past lives that have passed through and by each..

Thanks so much for the comment. It was even cooler to be standing there in the middle of nowhere with the wind blowing and this old house leaning over on its last breath. It was eerie - but in a good way !

I love the color, composition and subject of this shot! I think I have to agree about the border, however; I think that it doesn't blend well with the subject and style of the work. I think the border works with the other two works you use with it (Bullet Time and Silent Sentry), so I'm not bashing the style at all.
Overall, good job!

No problem at all - I know your not bashing. I think I will edit this and add a frame all the way around. The masses have spoken (all 2 of you

Hey Suma. I almost decided not to submit this because I was in a hurry when I shot it, and felt with more time I could found a better angle. Funny you mentioned adding a sepia tone, because that would of looked great...I almost went with black and white too- but in the end I just felt like going with the natural colors. Thanks so much for the feedback.

Again, excellent comoposition and color... I love the subject, but you're boder choice still bugs me man, just a little constructive criticism... keep up the good work though!

Hey Jimloomis! Thanks so much for your feedback - I really appreciate it. I see what you mean about the borders - I think its just a personal taste thing for me. I have far more pictures with a full border all the way around - but lately I have been experimenting with this type of border. I think it looks cool..but maybe I need to lay off it for a bit.

So desolate, it seems like a lot has happened in the house, and now it has been left for dead. Great picture, it must be nice there in Grand Coulee...

You are so right, this whole area is desolate and almost haunting. You get out of the car and there is just this impending silence that surrounds you. What kills me is there were a bunch more old barns and homesteads around there, totally abandon and like a ghost town....but I didn't have time !

I'm always attracted to this type of shot. Photos like this often look best to me in sepia tone, but I'm glad you didn't do that with this one. The subtle colors are just wonderful...and the title here is perfect. Certainly a
