I think if somebody had the money it could still be restored. I like the shape of it! Nice find and shot Carol!

I know a guy from my city that does such good pencil drawings, that they look like this B&W. This is a gorgeous shot, Carol. Very nice entry for the contest. Good luck.

I agree with Jim ... this image does resemble a pencil drawing which is a form of art I'm a big fan of. The house with the tall pine trees next to it reminds me so much of my grandparents home. I love the various textures & looks great in B & W. A wonderful entry Carol ... best of luck.

You picked a great image to do in b/w, Carol. This is perfect for it. This is wonderful with really fine detail.

An outstanding photo Carol!! Very clean and nice contrast although there is some 'noise' in the sky which is always a difficult task to master as I can attest to when I try to do the same:):) A high contender for the contest though!!

A great looking capture Carol. Nice composition of the photo and good B/W presentation. Love the textures and details in the image. Best of luck in the contest.

Great work. It looks like a drawing with pencil. I love drawings.
Good luck, my friend.

This is a beauty Carol. It looks so good in B/W. It will do well in the contest.

Excellent B/W picture :o)

More like this old (haunted) house...Me likey! BOL...

Carol - A good find is this scene, a good presentation choice is b/w. Thad

An excellent photo, Carol! The range of tones and contrast is very good, and your choice of subject, shot on a generally overcast day, looks great in B&W. I also like the mood you've created here and the fine detail throughout the image. Well done, and best of luck in the contest!

Carol
Good entry! I so love old houses and anything antique. It is too bad this old house could not be renovated. This looks like a pretty early house. It a great image and the best of luck in the contest!
