Burnt house

Supriyo I really like the tones in this image colour would simply have been a waste, well done.

I looked at the color version of this, and there simply is no impact with that version. I find that the device of BW renders many rather ordinary photo a bit more. My particular challenge is not to overuse the effect. But with this image, the heightened contrasts combined with a darkened and more dramatic sky add an odd sense of tension and preternatural glow to the scene. The range and handling of the grey scale in this is wonderful and very clear--a very solid IR appearing display.

The only different post that I would have suggested is a 1 or 2 degree counterclockwise rotation to bring the elevation of the house dead vertical--and perhaps a bit of transform to restore a straighter angle to the tree. Or not on the latter, depending on how the first rotation played out! Overall, a nice shot and well handled.
