Collapsing any day now...

Poor old home that once gave warmth and shelter to the family....did you enter?

Nice, how about a wider lens and get closer ot eliminate the fence in the foreground. Usually I like foreground items, but in this case it doesn't seem to add to the subject itself instead taking away as a dark spot in the corner.

I did not. Provincial trespassing laws forbid entering a property that's fenced off, even if it's abandoned.

We couldn't get closer due to the fence. I do have a different shot without the fence – but also without the reflection, which for me is key, and colder in tone due to the sun being partially behind the clouds:

Thank you, guys.

This is a neat shot. I am a sucker for old collapsing buildings. When I see something like this, I think HDR - don't know why, I just do. Would you care to share what part of the Great White North this was?

I love abandoned places, very cool.

Agree. However it's still a very good shot.

Great capture. I was also thinking of a full head on shot--if possible, and maybe in B&W, to accentuate the cave in.

And even if you could, I would by no means enter a place like that!

I like the fence in the first crop. Cool Pic. :thumbup:

 

[Frequency]

Ammm.....azing thing indeed; a great image !!!!!

 

[PhotoTish]

I like the crisp colours and the subject is interesting. Well timed too as I don't think it will be standing for too much longer! :thumbup:

 

[KenC]

Yeah, the first. The fence bothered me a little at first, but then I guess it grew on me. I also like the shadows across the snow in the foreground of the first.

I did try other compositions, including one facing the house from the side, but ultimately decided to process this (well, these). I might still process one of the head-on photos.

Thank you all!
