This Old House

Abandoned house on the prairie. I also did a b&w of this and wavered back and forth as to which on to post. I like the color better. Maybe that is just personal preference. Thanks for your comments and critiques.

Another beautiful "historic" shot, Richard. The faded colors look good to me - I'm not sure that you can capture the same sense of old in B&W?

I like the muted color. This could work in B&W if it was done as a high key image. I like the details in the exterior and the door, and also that you were able to nice detail inside the building. You might consider cloning out that bit of rock(?) in the lower right corner. You might also look at the saturation: The reds look a tad heavy to me. Those a re minor--this is nice image.
