I did a black & white manipulation with distortion and fade of a building located on Fort Handcock, Sandy Hook, N.J. Please let me know what you think.
The additional post processing/editing fits the creative bill.
And there are a number of contributing 'disturbing' elements/facets to your image within frame. I perceive a slight tilt, works. The street's curb angle and placement adds to the sense of being imbalanced/unnerved.
Caveats?
Central placement of that one tree.
However and with that minor caveat noted, it looks from what other vantage points were afforded/might have been available.. that you did indeed put some thought into composing this one, prior to depressing the shutter button.
Just curious if adjusting the distortion ('centering' more so off to the left, this perspective) might mitigate the compositional conundrum?
That nonsense of mine aside, very effective and evocative image. Well done.
Thank You for your comments I appreciate it. The tree was bothersome to me also, so I tried to line the tree up where the newer addition that was added to the original house started.
The reason I know this was a newer addition is because the older section of the building is a "Mansard" style roof and the newer addition is a typical "A" frame roof. Other differences can be seen in the trimwork which is very plain on the addition and more detailed on the original building.
Good good B & W base image, for starters.
