When the wind blows, the night noises are not for the faint of heart.

I can imagine the noise. Very scary spot. The ghosts work 24/7 here, I'll bet. Cool shot.

What a cool shot, great color and lighting. I am being pulled right up the drive. I love the house ... scary yes but I still like it. Well done.

That is one creepy house, esp that big main window with the child standing in it. The night of the undead is upon us.

Primo shot, TicK. One of the best I've seen in a very long time. The vertical mode shots just really don't set well with me. What I would like to do is turn my monitor 90° and enjoy this shot at full screen size. I guess I could download it, rotate the shot 90° and physically turn my monitor; but I'd rather not go through the trouble.

Okay...so the shot is portrait mode and I have gray blanks on each side of the image on my monitor. Live with it and comment on the shot, Dorothy.

Nifty windmill, groovy house, spiffy vines on the windmill, fab sky and keeno dirt road. I'm surprised at the recent tire tracks unless they're yours because the house looks abandoned from here. I'm hoping that you have some shots that are a bit more up close and personal.

I see what you mean about leaving a little noise in the sky. It does help to add depth to the sky.

Well, I just downloaded your shot and rotated it. No flaws. Suitable for framing and hanging on my wall. A beauty. 9.47897 out of 10. Faves for me, an AC nomination, two hips and one hurrah!

Agree with Skitzy ^^^ One of your best, and the vertical works well!..you got the lead, and the angle spot on

Keepah!!!

Lovely composition and great use of vanishing point. Nice use of subtle HDR to emphasise the clouds too :) I love seeing shots like this as they seem like something from a movie to me. We have nothing like this Britain!

Beautiful lane, nice house and pretty surrounding. The sky is something special, real drama.

Perfect composition, Tick. You've united (be glad that the dramatic sky was that helpful to you, lol) all the elements to create a wonderful and very moody image. For me there was only one possibility: to S+F your image instantly. Thanks, Owd Fella!

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

OOOOH, would make a great set for a spooky movie. Not a place I would like to be when the night noises begin.
Great atmosphere captured Tick, and well presented.

A potential prize winner for sure. I might have cropped it differently, with less foreground and sky, but it's one that will be great no matter what.

The angle and the distance you took this from make the shot. The house sure does look creepy.

As a child I played on a road just like this that led to our house. Not a bit scary to me, just wonderful memories! Very nice work Tick:)

A little HDR is just enough. I like the way the road curves taking us right to the house and windmill.

A good perspective and angle in the photo, Tick. I like the lead-in with the curving road. Good post work on the shot.

I like how you underexposed the shot (or later in post processing) to give it a gloomy feeling. The detail in the grass is also nice. If only the wind pulled the windmill around so it was facing you. Nice capture!
