Abandoned Farmhouse

I like your comp in this with the fence curving its way through the picture and leading your eye back to the house. I'm not sure about the sepia coloring or the frame but it is an interesting scene you have captured, Nancy.

Thank you for your comment, Carolyn. I should have explained that I was there with a group of photographers on a prearranged trip. It turned out to be a very bright and harshly-lit day. I was hoping that this one photo would work in color, but it didn't; too harsh and with great tufts of dried yellow grass due to the lack of rain we'd been experiencing in the Northeast. I think a lot of monochrome processing went on after this trip.

Hi Nancy The hand hewed fence really grabbed my attention. .. being a do it yourselfer,,,, i find the fence a work of art I would have croped out the house

The curving fence works really well in creating depth and as a leading line. I also like your choice of sepia toning as it emphasizes the graphic repetition of the fence (it's also a good way to handle the strong mid-day sun). The barn provides a nice secondary point of emphasis.

I like the comp and the treatment.
