Nicely composed Fran. Love your idea to add the snow. Bev

Fun images Fran. Mine all left also, after 2 weeks with us. House way too quite, but I just crashed. Didn't use my down time like you did with wonderful creativity. Bev

Congratulations John. It was enjoyable viewing all the creative ideas for my Deserted House, so thank you all for sharing your imagination. This is one of the areas which makes photography so much fun. Bev

Very creative, I like it. Bev

Nicely thought out and it ended up in a very interesting image which I really enjoyed. Bev

Hope you enjoy your group and your trip. The places you're going sound wonderful. We'll be anxious to see your images when you return. Stay safe, Bev

Nice one Jim. Happy 4th of July. Bev

I enjoy old deserted buildings and land. It's fun to think of a "what might have been" story. This is SOOC with all it's dust spots and no PP. Hope you enjoy and have fun with it. Happy and safe Fourth of July. Bev

I really like your image and I would consider this finished piece, a work of art. You initially took it as a photo because something in it caught your eye. To me the art part is how you've changed it to incorporate your own idea and feelings of how to present it. I like the simplicity of the macro crop, the soft image, and muted palette. I could easily see this as a large canvas print hanging over a fireplace in a white predominant living room.

I've been working the last couple days trying to find an abstract I like well enough to make it into a canvas print over our fireplace for the summer, but to no avail. I'm probably trying too hard, which in itself means it's not going to be good. I know it's a couple days late in replying, but I enjoyed your image too much not to say something. Bev

I like the feel of your image with a fog. I'm sort of waiting for a team to slowly emerge. Bev
