At the end of the New Jersey "Shore" is a narrow spit of land that juts out into the lower part of New York Harbor. At the end of that peninsula is Fort Hancock which used to be a missile base. This is one of the officer's houses. Most of them are in really poor shape these days; but this one is still basically intact.

I believe you have posted this house before. This is an excellent presentation of it, PP very well done!

I don't think I have posted this exact house before. There are several houses in this section of the fort that look pretty much the same. I know I have posted photos from this location before; but this is a fairly recent photo from March. If I did use this photo, though, I don't believe I posted it as a negative image which I think works pretty well. Thank you for taking a look and commenting.

It looked very familiar to me.
At any rate, I did like the first photo from this area, but this presentation has a very unique draw.

The negative image is spectacular. Deep black sky, spooky house with spookier windows, framed by bare-limbed trees, the scene further accented by an otherworldly shadow...all work wonderfully together to produce a high-impact creative edit.

it is a nice little trick that Photoshop allows us to use. I use the technique a lot and with the right photo, it can be striking.

I was originally drawn to the contrasts. Hence the title. I can, however, see your point about the spooky aspect. I also really like the shadow. Thanks for your comments. Much appreciated.

It's an interesting take to present a view in negative format. I don't think I would ever consider that. It's striking.

Nicely done Erich. I definitely agree with Linda about spooky. The trees give me the impression that they are just waiting to grab anyone who walks between them.

Thank you. I don't think that it works for every composition. You need a lot of contrast. Overcast skies are also a good candidate because they resolve as black. It is quite easy to do in Photoshop. Thanks for taking a look and commenting.
