Nice and sad. I'd brighten the building a little.

I actually thought that I had brightened it too much

I like the composition and texture.
Good shot.

For a critique, I'd say about 1/4-1/2 stop increase to bring up the shadowed detail and overall brightness. It's a tad dark on my monitor.

Thank you for the critique, Brent. Much like I implied above, I meant this image to be dark. Unfortunately, the white background of this forum makes the image seem even darker than it really is. If you're using Firefox, clicking this link should show the image on black: http://federicobuchbinder.com/img/s3/v41/p640808273-4.jpg. (That being said, processing dark and showing online isa slippery slope – different monitors will show the image differently and some – like yours and Mike's – would show it just too dark.)

It's too small and too difficult to see well on my monitor. I wish a larger version was available. I like the composition and the mood.

Nice image, and the brightness seems just right to me. I might try cropping the trunks on the left that lean away from the house (hmm... feeling of deja vu that I suggested that on another of yours), removing the lines leading away from the house and also leaving only a single bare tree to accompany the broken-down house.

It's 800px on the longer side, like the vast majority of the photos here

Always a tough decision, chopping off trees. Something to think about – thanks for the feedback, Ken.
