An abandoned house along Route 30 in Lancaster County, PA

I like your framing here. Is this the Munsters' family country estate?

 

I think that a dead-center subject is often death to a composition, and the Seventh Iron Rule of Photography states as much. But then I also strongly believe that a genuine artist is someone who knows just when to break the rules.

 

Count yourself in the ranks of the genuine artists.

Hi Andre...I haven't heard much from you since you got that Nikon! You must be having a great time with it :)

Count me with Andre on this one: it is a fabulous black and white. The composition is sterling; particularly the use of the tree framing the shot. Excellent range of tones. I wish it was posted a touch larger so that I could delve into it and explore the details. Well seen and captured, Kellen. Cheers! Chris

 

I actually posted this small size by mistake but I was in a hurry so I left it this way. I am glad that you like it. I do too and the ones I like are usually the ones that don't receive any comments.

This area is interesting. You will see acres of open space along the highway with old abandoned houses here and there. The land has probably been purchased for development. This particular area (Lancaster, PA) seems to be developing very rapidly.
