I live in the country and drive by this old house every time I go to town. Up until just a few years ago a family actually lived there, but you would never think that looking at it now. First time I took photo's the sky was clear blue and it just did not look right. I thought it would look better on a cloudy day. So this is what I came up with about a week later.

WOW! That's a dandy of an old house. This is a super shot, too. You got the kind of sky I love, and I'm glad you went back. Beautiful color and contrast, as well as sharpness.

Kay - A little TLC and this house could be restored to former beauty. A wonderful capture that shows this with the green of the trees and beautiful sky set against the worn house. Thad

A place worthy of many return trips. A nicely composed scene with that lovely cloudy sky in the background. Nice colours, clarity and textures in your photo. Best of luck in the contest.
