The abandon house, a photo from Quebec, Central

Photographer's Note

The first picture, what I did, I put a lot of grey filter and it gaves some colors to the picture but it's better normal, but I have to make a try to see the results. Also for that picture I took a picture of it in color with a Velvia 50. It will turn good I think with all the colors, an another dimension to the photography.
Also I want to thank you all the people taking time to see my pictures and giving their opinion, thank you.
A last thing, the reason I took this picture in the front is I didn't want to see the other houses around and the electrical wires, in this way the house look alone, all by itself.

This is certainly an interesting composition (though the near center composition detracts for me). Your use of tinted monochrome is a good choice, but it appears really to be neither.

I think your otherwise good composition might have benefitted from either straight hi-contrast B&W -or- a soft tinted effect?

We appear to be stuck in both camps here. Still nice to look at though.

I love this shot. The sides of the hut seem to lean inwards with the perspective. In a way, it's haunting. I'd prefer it straight B&W, rather than tinted. Good photo.

VOILÀ ! 100 fois mieux que la version originale, la petite touche de vert est suffisant et là on voit bien cette belle vieille maison avec tous ses détails et le ciel en gris est idéal. Suggestion: si cette photo avait été "repostée" à partir de l'original on aurait pu les comparer côte à côte.

That's it ! 100 times better than the first one. The little touch of green is quite nice and now we can see this old house with all it's details. The grey sky is ideal for that kind of shot in my opinion.

Agreed - 100 times better than the first one.

I like the composition - rather than distracing me, I think that the center composition adds to the "loneliness" of this house.
