what a moody, but inviting image. Such a shame to think that the higher ups once graced it's floors, and now it's in decay.

A masterful piece of work, Richie! You've created a slightly surreal and wholly captivating image. The ruins make a great centerpiece and fit the mood perfectly, and I like how the fall color of the landscape are reflected in the sky. Well done!

Well, if the Bowes ever move back, make sure we get invited to the next grand ball they have. LOL. Beautiful, and kind of eerie!

I like how you paint with pixels Count B. I thought I saw you peering out the window.
Moody is a gross understatement.
Excellent.

You are the master of dark images Richie. This looks like a very beautiful painting with all the effects that you have used. I think I would have given it a 10 - 9 anyway for sure.

The only things that are missing to keep a Grand ball again are Count Dracula, his brides and some bats.

Perfect post (work), Richie!

A fascinating and somewhat ominous take on the transitory nature of our existence. Rich or poor, we all wind up the same way, along with all our grandest creations. A fitting end to hubris and excess.

Why change things which are per se [this is Latin] perfect? I am asking myself this question more and more often. The reply is - the PROGRESS. Life must go on and nature does not tolerate stagnation. Otherwise I would love that our Richie created this kind of images forever.
