Abandoned Parsonage, Still pond, Md

[Rick58]

Part of the Church Complex. Intentional higher contrast with a simulated blue filter to darken the foliage.
Thoughts, Comments, Critque always appreciated

I like it. I love really like old, abandoned buildings in high contrast B&W...Take my words with a grain of salt as I'm no where near an expert but I would personally like to see a bit more of the side with the windows...Maybe just a bit of shadow recovery or something?

I'm curious--where in Maryland is this?

Nice, as always, Rick.

Still Pond is on the Eastern Shore, north of Chestertown.

Yep, You're right. I can pull a little more detail out of those shadows without losing the affect I'm after...thanks

I wish you all the luck on your quest Pastor Brown. I was a little surprised this image didn't get more attention as a photograph, but maybe it had another purpose.

since i am working on learning some basic processing i appreciate you adding in what you did to it. looks pretty good. simple photos often dont get much notice as people like entertainment and glamour for interest. But you already know that. nice photo.

I just saw this picture today. I like it the way it is. For me the shadows sort of represent the neglect.

I like it but I'd like to see the shadows pulled out a bit around that side window also. Nice job!

Thanks. I guess there are about 364 better days to post a photo other then New Years Eve,

Nice find, Rick. I agree about the side shadows. Perhaps trying to tone map the image a bit? But you don't want to lose too much contrast.

Nice shot -- how about just a touch of color.

Ok, after several comments regarding the shadows I went back and hit it with a couple knotches of mapping (Fanboy). It's subtle, but it does clean up the shadow detail. Any more and it begins to lose the atmosphere I was attempting to capture. Thanks for the good advice folks
