    I like this! I think what catches my eye the most about it is the gradual slope down of the hill. With the tree at the bottom and building at the top it makes it a bit different.

    Appreciate your comment, thanks! Yes something about the perspective is attractive to me too!:D

    I too like the perspective. My only small nit is that the right edge might benefit from cropping out the smaller building, having the building 'emerge' from the edge. And what does it look like if the small fence post is gone? That one seems to work as an anchor, but I was just wondering.

    I hope you got in closer for some more shots of the house. That beat up door and open window are just begging for someone to walk up and shoot them mwink.gif

    Thanks! Yes, you rightly home in on the cropping challenge of this image! It's a perceptive comment that you make about the fence post anchoring that side. There is a track which curves around it which is also nice, though barely visible now with my post processing style. I think the post could be lost without too much detriment. It does look a bit inconsequential.

    The solution on the right might be to clone out the building intruding from the edge. I thought the whole of the main building being included was necessary (I had another shot with it going out of frame which I thought didn't work). I thought the image and the perspective benefited from the wider view.

    Thanks for your comment Eoren! Yes, it's an eerie kind of building being so old and in this state, and isolated on the slope. I am a junkie for that kind of feeling! I didn't get any closeups of it, but I did of another building, which I haven't processed yet.
