Love old buildings as they are a piece of history that we can see and enjoy. Looks very well focused, framed and with a filtered sun for exposure. You can see the neat old details of the building.

I absolutely love abandoned buildings..This one is lucky! At least people are looking after it.
I love the rustic look to it. The porch is in good condition, I've always wanted a porch like this..
Good lighting, nice splashes of sunlight on the side of the building. Good shadows captured.
Like the earthy tones of this photo..A good angle to shoot.
A wonderful showing! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice shot. I love the old rustic look. Good pov and dof. Focus is very sharp as the details and colors of the cabin and surrounds are very vivid. My wife and I may go there nest year in the spring as we live in Columbus, Indiana. Have you by chance ever been to goose pond? Nice job one this shot and thanks for sharing.

We just heard of it this past summer. Have not been there as of yet but it is in Linton, Indiana.

This is a nice capture of a scene I woul love the chance to shoot.Composition and exposure are fine. I think the topaz could be slightly lighter but no marks down as tht is the artists choice

I hear a lot about this topaz, Is that the appearance of the picture being a painting that topaz has achieved? If it is, I quite like it. I would of lightened the bricks as the light was against you. Looks a bit dark.

Thank you so very much! Topaz is a very good program. I have had fun using it too!

Comment from No One Special
Very beautiful journalism photography. Would be even more dramatic I feel if your subject or backdrop provided more contrast between the two. Tones are sharp and good. Notes informative. Really enjoyed reviewing No place like home. Take care.

Comment from Tony B
Old buildings and photography go hand in hand. I will give you an example, take a painter, just about any painter, they render an image with a nice quant house, usually someone is living in, a nice path and perhaps a tree in the front yard. You rarely see decomposition in paintings.

This looks like a great subject to take additional shots, I was just looking at that door and the reflection off the window.

I like the way you presented it here for us today, well done.

Nice job on this picture. Love how clear and detailed everything is. I like the rock fireplace. The area around this home is very well maintained.
