It's lonely here

Wow, this place has great potential, a real fixer upper. :wink:

Great old house and the bare trees really give it an ominous feeling. It would be interesting to see as a B&W with some deeper contrasts.

Needs to be a little darker with a full moon and a Raven sitting in a tree. Pretty cool shot Mark. I don't know if I would go inside though. :eek:

Here's another version. I'm starting to like this one more, it seems creepier.

I vote for the rework, it is definitely creepier. What a cool subject. :toast:

Another foreclosure victim...

I like the comp, what about a B&W version of #2? :wavey:

BTW, is your bike fixed yet?

don't go digging in the basement

I tried it as B&W but didn't like it. I'm not that good at conversions anyway.

Kevin, Yes, I've had it for a couple months now. I had disc brakes put on it. It's sweet!

Creepy in a uber creepy kinda way! I too like the second one better but I think it's still a bit of a muddy image. But brightening it up would lose the uber creepiness so what's a fella to do?! Mark this would be a great site to keep visiting through the seasons!

Thanks everyone,

I actually have a brighter version that is still pretty creepy. My photos seem to get darker when I post them on the web. The version I posted on M&N is a bit brighter.

I love the second one Mark. Way to play with the possibilities!

What a find! It's #2 for creepiness, #1 for the light. :cool:
