I love the decrease in saturation - maintaining the deep blue sky is a stunning effect! #1652079

This is eerie, Bob, and almost alien. It's feels as if the plants in the field are encircling and threatening that house. #11447327

Amanda D. Austwick level-classic March 15, 2016

Like Letha, I like the blue sky in contrast to the old house in black and white. #11447350

Melinda F. Schneider level-classic March 15, 2016

Very skillful, Bob. I like this very much. #11447412

What a neat old house. You really caught the mood. #11447435

gorgeous, well done #11447583

Fabulous capture, I like that the house is sitting alone in all that field. And, your treatment to it works perfectly. Great color! #11447627

Very nice, Bob - I thought it was an infrared image at first. There's just something about these abandoned houses and barns that is so very interesting. The blue sky with puffy clouds is a big plus. #11447701

This appears to be an infrared capture, but it probably isn't. Beautiful contrast and presentation. #11447863
