Hello Dimitris,
A fine image of this old and, apparently, abandoned house. The saturated and sombre tones suit the mood, which is heightened by the surrounding snow. Good point of view with excellent clarity. Did you use HDR on this?

My first thought: scary! Your composition is very successful, with the roof "pointing" into the sky. Good post-processing, I like the decaying colors of the walls. Thanks!

"...spring is forgotten..."
Very dramatic words for a dramatic photo Dimitri. It is almost April and there is snow and grey clouds in the atmosphere...
I love the desolate building which is rotten down. THe vegetation growing inside is an absolutely beautiful detail.
Cheers,
Deniz

Hi Dimitris,
nice shot,well composed,great color and details.

Hi Dimitris,

Have a nice day

Looks like a painting. The snow enhances the graphism. Superb sharpness & pp work. Tfs!

Nice moody image, Dimitris, and although I see traces of selective PP here, the overall impression is very fine...

Γεια σου Δημήτρη
Αυτά τα εγκατελημένα σπίτια είναι πάντα 'λιχουδιά' για κάθε φωτογράφω. Το σκληρό κοντράστ και η χειμωνιάτικη βαριά ατμόσφαιρα βοηθούν στην δημιουργία ενός δραματικού σκηνικού. Μικρή απώλεια οξύτητας στο φόντο των βουνών αλλά τελικά μια πανέμορφη φωτογραφία.
Όσο για την Άνοιξη, στις 25 Μαρτίου είχαμε χιόνι και δεν έγινε παρέλαση. Μέχρι να αλλάξει λποιπόν ο καιρός, ας απολαμβάνουμε τα πλεονεκτήματα αυτού που έχουμε.
TFS - Χαιρετώ
Χρήστος

Hi Dimitris,

fascinating mood with a sense of decadence, impressive view, a bit too dark in some parts in my opinion.

Hi Dimitris,
A good capture of this old, abandoned house. You chose a good POV and the composition is also very good. The grey sky and also the snow emphasise the miserable condition of the house. It stands with its colours well out against the background. Well seen and captured!
Regards,
Lars

Kalimera Dimitris,
Farbgebung und Licht lassen schon fast an ein Gemälde denken, sehr interessanter Effekt. Guter Standpunkt mit zwei Seiten des Hauses und dem Weg vorn um das Haus. Schade um den Zustand.

Hi Dimitris!
Spring is forgotten and this house looks rotten.....Is it for sale????
Mir gefällt Deine Kompo mit der Kurve im Vordergrund und dem graune Himmel der zu diesen traurigen Anblick passt.
Gruß,Leo

Hello Dimitris,
Attractive composition, showing this once great house very well!
Good textures in the wall, interesting colours that mainly are a result of the brush of time...
Strange atmosphere and a fine sense of depth!
Greetings,

Bonsoir, Dimitris,
La nature reprend le dessus, les hommes ont abandonné cette maison, la végétation s'empare du passé et peut-être quelque fleur égaiera cette demeure.
Une photogaphie pleine de poésie et de tristesse.
Amitiés.

Hallo dimitris. Ein verlassenenes und halb verfallenes Haus, etwas Schnee. Das Photo ist sehenswert. Es könnte eine gute Kulisse für einen Gruselfilm abgeben. Mir gefallen die Farben. Auch die Komposition ist vorbildlich. Sehr schön. viele Grüße, wolfgang.

Hello Dimitris,
A very fine captured and composed of architecture image!
the pov is good in perfect sharpness, warm colouration and details of the ruin!
the exposure and focus is spot on in the shot
well done

Bonjour Dimitris,
un ciel bien particulier qui fait tomber sur cette maison solitaire, une atmosphère très particulière. Je dirais que cela renforce l'isolement.
J'aime beaucoup cette capture de lumières pas faciles et ces couleurs qui habillent toutefois bien ces vieux murs.
Excellent week-end.
Daniel.

Bonjours,
belle photo de ces maisons fort abimées, jolies couleurs et bonne netteté qui fait bien ressortire les détails et les parties fort abimées.
Sans doute le temps, les années et peut etre un manque d' entretient, bien sur, pour entretenir il faut en avoir les moyens, et ce n' est pas toujours le cas.


Amitiés Thomas
Je reviens

I love abandoned buildings Dimitri and this one is really good. The 3 coloured walls are interesting and the snow adds to the effect.
Regards
Phil

Hello Dimitris,

Yes this place look rundown but is also an excellent subject for this type of photography. You have documeneted this place very well, showing the effect of age over matter. Good colours and exposure. The composition is very attractive. Thanks for sharing.

What an atmosphere you show here! I like the old house. The darkness make it a little scary. Really good shot. I like the snow covering the ground. Good composition!

Hello Dimitris
I'm sure this house used to be pretty and now it looks like, it is completely abandon...what a pity! The PP effect gives good results and I like the texture of the wall with the faded painting on it...the view of the forest in the far.
Cheers

missed this one, this haunted looking house has amazing colours on it... we have the spring at last around here... i hope you do as well...

Ο μολυβής, εχθρικός ουρανός τονίζει ακόμα περισσότερο την λυπημένη ατμόσφαιρα της σύνθεσης σου κάνοντας ακόμα πιο έντονο το αίσθημα εγκατάλειψης του συγκεκριμένου χώρου.

Hello Dimitris,
Quite a moody & deserted atmosphere. Looks like the building is abandoned. Part of the roof structure on top left has already caved in. But a great capture of house under disrepair. Colors & saturations really add to the cold winter atmosphere. Regards. Latiff.

Hi Dimitris. You have captured a mood in this shot that perfectly matches the old house. Well composed with good depth and subtle colours. Thanks for haring.

This is like a painting photography. It looks amazing. I love the colours of old paint on the building walls.
